Discover Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness RV rentals for memorable road trips
Although the Maroon Bells and Snowmass Mountains in Colorado were contained within the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest, they didn’t have protection from commercial operations until 1964 when the Wilderness Act was passed. This granted them some extra protection, preserving the pristine wilderness for decades to come. The region was visited by miners searching for silver in the 1880s, but it didn’t truly take off as a tourist destination until the nearby Aspen ski resort was built in the 1950s. Today, around 300,000 people visit Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness annually.

We had a wonderful experience. Travis was super easy to work with and responded quickly to answer questions that we had prior to the trip. The camper was everything we expected and more! It is fully equipped for a comfortable camping trip with everything from paper towels, to wash clothes, camp chairs and more! The beds were super comfortable and the heater kept us plenty warm at night with temps in the low 40s. We would definitely rent from Travis again!
