Two great hikes off of Morraine Lake: Valley of Ten Peaks is long, but easy, with amazing cliff and lake scenery. Or take Larch Valley pass, which also starts at Morraine Lake, and has a fairly steep elevation gain up to some nice alpine meadows, and then another steep climb up to an amazing pass that looks down into Paradise Valley. Even in mid-may, some parts of the path might be deep in snow.
If you're willing to go up to the north end of the park, Parker Ridge is a nice short hike with some nice glacial scenery and fossil formations along the way.
