Maroon Bells 1949 Breakfast Menu

Located south of Aspen, the Maroon Bells are sometimes called the most photographed scene in Colorado. They are so popular that the Forest Service has restricted access and imposed a number of fees to get to them. We’ve previously seen them on the cover of a 1956 menu.

This menu, like yesterday’s, was used for Detroit Knight Templars headed to a national convention in Los Angeles. The menu, in fact, is identical to the breakfast menu shown yesterday, which makes sense as the Rio Grande would host passengers for only one breakfast during the trip between Denver and Salt Lake City.
