We started at the North Shore trailhead and headed up the Dawson Pass Trail in the Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park. The hike skirts Pray Lake and then takes hikers along the north shore of Two Medicine Lake. It is about 3,200 feet of elevation gain to Dawson Pass, but the lion's share of that gain is in the last 3 miles before the pass. We arrive at Dawson Pass and followed some goat trails to the south along the Continental Divide. Here we had excellent views of the Nyack drainage to the west of the divide and the Bighorn Basin to the east of the divide. The the peaks of Two Medicine were on full display on this day including the iconic Mount Saint Nicholas. We had a nice moose encounter at No Name Lake on the way down the pass. Our total hike was roughly 15 miles and 4,000 feet of elevation gain. It as a great day in Glacier National Park.
