    Be prepared, Bring water, sunblock, extra coat, always allow uphill hikers the right of way. Tell someone where you are going.  more »

    By far the best hike I did during my 4 days in RMNP. Pretty difficult hike both the distance of 10 miles involving quite an ascent along with having to scale up 20 ft of boulders at Timberline Falls.....  more »

    Tough hike but it's an absolutely gorgeous lake and worth every stair
  • By Josiah Allen
    Amazing views and overall a great area to hike and explore. Slightly difficult to get up to and back down from Sky Pond itself. 5 miles out from Bear lake trailhead.
