overview

Our most popular hike! It is an out and back hike that challenges most hikers, but pays off with amazing alpine lakes nestled into rocky gorges. While reaching Sky Pond is definitely challenging for most hikers, we love this hike as we pass many lakes and waterfalls along the way, so no matter how far you make it you will have an amazing experience.​

trip highlights

• Exclusive access to the Rocky Mountain National Park including pick-up and drop off
• Sky Pond is surrounded by fields of columbines and other wildflowers. 
• This high mountain cirque is surrounded by the Taylor Glacier, Taylor Peak, Cathedral spires including the Sharks tooth.

customer reviews

"Visiting from the UK, KMAC provided a all-inclusive way to enjoy RMNP.  Perfect for first-timers. Loved the pick-up and drop off at the Stanley Hotel. Made things super easy and convenient.  No fighting the crowds in the park.  KMAC guides are fabulous and know a tone about the area.  The trail has spectacular views. Be sure to bring the camera! - Tamsin from London, UK. ​

"Eric was an awesome guide for my son and I. He was knowledge and very safe. I would highly recommend him and the establishment. Views were awesome and breathtaking." Susan A. from Ft. Myers
