6-day hike around the Maroon Bells, Snowmass Mountain and Capital Peak following trails but also off trail sections. The reward is a nice bath in the Conundrum Hot Springs. When the wetters is okay, you can extend the hike with some mountain climbs to Capital Peak and Snowmass Mountain (pretty technical hiking!).

Sicherheitshinweise
There are several off trail sections on this route with can still be covered in snow early in the season. In that case an ice axe and crampons can be useful. In July 2018 we did not need any of this, but every year is different.
Beware of thunderstorms in the afternoon, leave early!

Kartenempfehlungen des Autors
National Geographic (1:50.000): 128 'Maroon Bells, Redstone, Marble' and 131 'Crested Butte - Pearl Pass' (you only need a very small section of this). The very last part to the road junction to leads to Conundrum Trailhead is not covered by these maps but the route is easy to follow.

Ausrüstung
- Normal hiking equipment is necessary.
- As you have to camping out (no huts in het mountains) you will need that gear too. There are not so much mosquitoes in Colorado, however there are some so I recommend for sleeping an inner for the tarp/tent.
- A hard sided bear canister (e.g. Bearvault BV500) is compulsary.
