Tarn and Sky-1 night
September 28- September 29 2025
Tarn and Sky is a one-night backpacking adventure through RMNP, offering stunning views of high-altitude lakes and glaciers. You’ll pass by clear, glacier-fed tarns nestles beneath towering peaks, with expansive views of glacial valleys and ice-capped summits. This route offers a perfect blend of serene lake views and rugged, breathtaking landscapes.
Day 1 6.5 miles 1660 ft gain
This days adventure is full of lush forests, towering peaks, waterfalls and crystal-clear lake waters. After hiking half the day, we’ll drop pack at camp to climb to a lake view
Day 2 5 miles 1200ft gain
After breakfast, a steep climb for more lake views before heading back to the trailhead. Views of lush alpine meadows with beautiful wildflowers, dramatic cliffs, and the chance to see marmots and mountain goats. This is one of my favorite places in the park, the views are stunning!
