Climb above Moraine Lake into an extraordinary larch forest with breathtaking views of the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Strong hikers can carry on up steep switchbacks on a scree slope to Sentinel Pass - an airy, alpine col with commanding views of both Larch Valley and Paradise Valley. Note: To minimize disruptions to feeding bears and to protect people, hikers may be required to travel in groups of four during July & August. Check the Banff National Park Trail Report before departing.
