  • If you want to get to Sky Pond, you're going to have to climb the falls. I went when the water was pretty minimal but very icy. Prepare to get a little wet and for slippery conditions. Remeber to wait your turn when going up or down.
  • At just over 4 miles from the trailhead hikers will reach the base of Timberline Falls. The main portion of the waterfall drops roughly 100 feet, and continues cascading down the valley below you. Be sure to look out across the valley for a birds-eye view of The Loch in the far-off distance.
