Larch Valley / Sentinel Pass
Starting at exquisite Moraine Lake, the hike into Larch Valley and Sentinel Pass gives you a hint at the backcountry of Banff National Park. Done in the autumn, if you are lucky and you timing coordinates with mother nature, you will witness the changing of the Larch, a coniferous tree that changes colour and drops its soft needles like a deciduous tree! This moderately difficult hike offers remarkable views of the Ten Peaks and the dreamy Paradise Valley if you continue along to Sentinel Pass.
