Pitamakan Pass 2024
—
by
Pitamakan Pass in the Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park straddles two gorgeous drainages filled with stunning lakes and craggy peaks… oh and the huckleberries can be really good too! We rolled up to the trailhead at Pray Lake as the sun was coming over the horizon. Armed with a scope, tripod, and binoculars,…
Climbing Mount Helen 2023

by
While not the most notable summit in Glacier National Park, Mount Helen sits just above Dawson Pass in the Two Medicine area and is a wonderful addition to your day, that is, if you have any gas left in your tank after climbing to the pass. On paper, our plan was to take the boat…

A little Throwback Thursday cuz we’re feeling nostalgic for dry trails Not sure if it gets any better than a crisp, fall morning in the Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park when Two Medicine Lake is glass.

Pitamakan – Dawson via the South Shore Trail 2022
—

The Pitamakan-Dawson Loop is one of our favorite hikes in Glacier that we try to do once a year. With the North Shore Trail of Two Medicine Lake closed, we ended up having a slightly longer day doing the South Shore Trail. We donned our running packs to do a faster version of the hike…

Not so fast, Winter

We opened the garage door to head out to Glacier National Park when Kristen said, “I don’t think I have enough clothes on. It’s cold.” It was a chilly morning. The clear skies that were beckoning us to get outside had also helped drive down the temperatures. We’re not ready for winter. With no specific…

If you follow Hike 734 you are probably aware that Jake is currently hiking and exploring Olympic National Park in Washington.

If you were to ask me which hike is my favorite hike, I probably would tell you the Pitamakan-Dawson Loop. I set out with a group of donors and staff from the Glacier Conservancy to do this loop and the sunny day, fantastic loop, and a boat ride was one for the books. Sinopah Mountain…
