I found i had plenty of time but some people turned back early or just got to the end and had to hurry back.

Yeah, I suggested we wait for Crypt Lake, until next year. I think that's a build up to it one. I think he and I could do it by this fall, if it was just us working hard over the next few months, but I don't think our daughter will be up to this year and she's almost always with us - and if we're in Waterton? Yeah, no way in hell she wouldn't be with us, hahaha - Waterton is her favorite place anywhere.

Instead of doing Larch Valley and fighting the crowds at Moraine lake you can do the Sunshine Meadows to Healy Pass loop. Larches are just as spectacular with none of the crowds and best of all you can take a bus up to sunshine meadows to knock off 600 or meters of elevation.
Enjoy getting out there.

Awesome, thank you so much.
A quick picture from today, just as we started up the trail. Such a perfect day - we dressed properly and I ended up stuffing my mittens in my pockets - hands were too warm, LOL.
