Sky Pond is one of the most iconic hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park, offering alpine lakes, breathtaking mountain views, and just the right amount of challenge. The journey takes you past The Loch, up a waterfall scramble, and through the stunning Lake of Glass before reaching Sky Pond, where you're surrounded by towering peaks.

Mills Lake is easily one of my favorite hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park. It offers the perfect balance of challenge and accessibility, making it ideal for hikers looking to get a good workout without committing to an all-day trek.

Not every hike needs to be a long, grueling trek to be worth your time. Some of the best hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) are short and accessible, perfect for: beginners, bad weather days, limited time, kids, etc.
