Particularly Special Place
Description
The view is really awesome here. This stunning alpine lake is surrounded on three sides by sheer cliff walls. You'll reach Sky Pond at an elevation of 10,900 feet. It's one of the park's popular hiking destinations and definitely worth the hike!
Half-Day Hike: After hiking 4.5 miles you'll finally reach Sky Pond. You have to scramble up the side of a small waterfall.

Epic hike with a glorious endpoint of Sky Pond. Big boulders were adjacent to the pond with a similar rocky trail. Loved it!
