Sentinel Pass Larch Valley, Canada 2011

Hiking the trail to Sentinel Pass via Larch Valley in the Autumn.
The hike starts at Morraine Lake and follows the lake shore for a short distance. The trail is well marked with two intersections. At both keep to the right. The trail climbs through the forest along a series of switchbacks. At points you will see Morraine Lake below. After climbing 360 meters in elevation and walking 2.6 kilometers you will enter Larch Valley. In the fall, the needles of the Larches, a deciduous conifer, turn gold and then fall off the trees. The window to enjoy them is only two or three weeks long in the fall.
