Actually if you want to go up with lift and if you are there around 9 am you have 3 hours to the top i suggested you to take a break on "Kidney lake" sit there for 20 min and after that going to the top because after this lake is really hard to be on the top if you want just to see all the lakes you can stop on ""Tear lake" but if you want to make a picture of all 7 lakes you need to go exactly top of the mountain which is 20 min more but still if you are on the lift at 10 am you will be at the top around 2 with all breaks and normal walking. And usually i take a rest and eat on "Tear Lake" take a nap for an hour there and after that going down for 2:30/3 hours and you are on the lift again around 5. So you can go down from the mountain before sunset.
