CO Mountain Goat Unit G12 — MAROON BELLS

CO G12 — MAROON BELLS. Terrain & Access Maroon Bells spans 367,500 acres across a dramatic elevation range—from 6,095 ft in lower drainages to 14,200 ft at the high peaks—creating alpine terrain that demands serious physical preparation. With 83% public land and 50% wilderness, this unit offers extensive backcountry goat habitat interspersed with maintained access corridors. The high-elevation foundation supports classic Colorado mountain goat country: steep rocky peaks, talus fields, and alpine terrain where animals concentrate in summer and early fall. Access begins via established trailheads and roads in the lower elevations, but pursuing goats requires backcountry navigation..
