It's a fantastic shot nonetheless! I didn't get the opportunity to hike up there, though I'd absolutely love to. I plan on moving out there for a few years to really give myself time to explore properly. I did the Joffre lakes hike a few weeks ago while visiting and absolutely loved the challenge of mountain trails. Quite a different area but unbelievable views the entire way up, particularly the second and third lake. Highly highly recommend it if you ever find yourself out that way again

Thanks! It was quite the challenge for me since I wasn’t used to the elevation and had hurt my knee on day one, but if you can manage the switchbacks then the rest isn’t too bad! And I’m super jealous of your plan! I’d love to spend a lot more time out there. I fully intend to return someday. I haven’t heard of Joffre lakes, but I’ll look into it for sure!
