LARCH VALLEY TRAIL | Banff

We hiked 9km on the Larch Valley Trail in July, 2020. It was a beautiful hike in Banff National Park starting at the Moraine Lake parking lot and going up into the meadows above. The Larch Valley Trail hike was one of our favorites in the Canadian Rockies because of its openness and views so close to the mountain peaks. The upper part of the hike is nearly all in the meadows. We recommend combining this larch valley hike with a moraine lake sunrise as it's very short and not technical at all. Anyone can do it! The tracks start from the eastern side of the lake and wind through a pretty dense forest. But it’s only when you reach the valley when it starts to get really interesting! With views of the famous Ten Peaks, evergreen conifers, and the mesmerizing Larch trees, you’ll realize how magical this hike is. Especially in fall, when the larches turn vivid yellow, you’ll feel like you’re in a fairytale. The gentle path eventually takes you to two small lakes at the base of Mount Temple and Sentinel Pass. From here, you can continue your way up to the pass for some more spectacular mountain views. But keep in mind that this adds another 3km (1.8mi) to the trip!
