Did this trail on 6/20 beautiful waterfalls and lakes on way up. Approaching sky pond trail is completely snow packed. Turn right at trail intersection for sky pond and head upwards toward Andrew Glacier. Be very careful around snow covered boulders as you can fall through snow pack. Gaiters came in handy. Proceed toward campground and veer left following snow packed trail and creek where it gets steep.
Great views of gorge
