This is a small but pretty cascade just below Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is definitely not the highlight of the hike (description here), but it is very easy to take a look at it before you arrive at Sky Pond. To the best of my knowledge, no one else online describes this waterfall.

Location

Sky Pond Falls: 40.27931 N, 105.66720 W

Directions

Just west of the Beaver Meadows Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park (west of Estes Park) turn onto Bear Lake Road (south). Follow the road for ~8.1 miles to the Glacier Gorge Trailhead Parking Lot. If this lot is full continue to the Bear Lake Parking Area. For trail specifics see the hike description here. This waterfall is ~4.5 miles from the Bear Lake Trailhead and ~4.35 miles from the Glacier Gorge Trailhead (~0.45 miles from Timberline Falls).
