Amazing dayhike to the top of Maple Pass, w/ a sidetrip to Lake Ann. Wonderful meadows w/ glacier lillies just starting to pop, pasque flower, etc. The views were awesome, and so were the little larch trees along the way. I bet they are stellar in the fall. Snow blocks the upper reaches of the trail, but it's not too deep or soft so it's pretty easy to traverse the steep snowfields as long as you use poles and/or microspikes.
