9The Sentinel Pass Via The Larch Valley Trail
This is a challenging out-and-back hike with a distance of over 11 kilometers and an elevation of 799 meters. This hike features fantastic fall foliage if you take it in autumn. The larch trees turn a beautiful shade of gold.
At first, the hike is relatively easy as you trek ‘cross the flat ground. However, the switchbacks come quite quickly as the elevation increases. Ah, but remember, you’ll soon see some surprising views of Moraine Lake.
Stop at the summit of striking Sentinel Pass. There, above the trees, you can see every one of the park’s 10 peaks. Keep in mind that the busy Moraine Lake parking lot fills up quite quickly and the park officials close the road, which forces visitors to take the shuttle. Reservations are recommended.
