Are the Larches in Sentinel Pass overrated? | Fall Larch Valley - Banff National Park

[@dontbeadrone]

I remember having a panic attack on Sentinel Pass. I have a strong fear of heights, and the narrow, shale-like path, flanked by what seemed to be a sheer drop to the side was more than I could take. I made it up two-thirds before turning back. I remember feeling so defeated by my fear of heights. Fortunately, the pass is at the end of the trail, so I didn't miss out on the main beauty of the trail. As for the Larches....I was there in the third week of September, so I missed their full "bloom." They look amazing in your video.

@@dontbeadrone thank you, it’s a great hike for sure. I would have never considered it could be frightening but over time your fear of heights gets diminished with each year hiking!

@@EricTremblayAdventures Let's hope! I don't want it to prevent me from future blessings from hiking. I actually want to do the Skyline Trail at Jasper National Park, someday. I wouldn't want to miss that over my phobia.

I will be hiking this during the third week of September, I am so so excited! great video.

@@yourbeautybaby awesome! It’s an amazing place during larch season. I would also recommend Wenkchemna Pass & Taylor Lake in the same area if you have time.

Thank you so much for this video. I got to relive my favorite hike. Absolutely gorgeous

You’re welcome! You should check out the Wenkchemna Pass video that I hiked up in the middle of the night to showcase sunrise in the valley. Far superior views than Sentinel IMO. ✌️

That is realy cool. Those are Alpine larch. A very slow growing high elevation tree near timber line
