Hike to Larch Valley

After finding some people to hike with, we set up the switchback route heading towards the Larch Valley, this is the first stage on the hike as our final destination is Sentinel Pass. The group I have tagged along with are some oldish germans who unfortunately for me are going very slowly. At times it was like hiking with someone playing Enya constantly in your ears but I just have to grin and bear it as there is a mum Grizzly with cubs living in this area so that is why you have to be in groups. Anyway, the views are great, We get some decent looks at the lake below us and then when we reach the valley itself, the trees thin out leaving an alpine meadow. There are quite a few rodents to enjoy as well.
