Glacier Park Two Medicine Lake pictures on MontanaPictures.Net (Page four of eight)

60506  A short ten miles north of East Glacier is the often overlooked Two Medicine Lake.

The powerboat in the picture is used strictly for pre-season maintenance.  Once the season starts

the only power boat  you will see is the passenger boat that shuttles visitors towards the mountains

That's "Rising Wolf Mountain"  on the left.  An incredibly easy Two Medicine Lake walk is the boat ride to the end of the lake

followed by a leisurely walk back along the north shore of the lake to the Two Medicine General Store and your transportation.

60506 That's "Rising Wolf Mountain"  on the left.   It's the tallest peak in the Two Medicine area. (elevation 2,900 m / 9,513 feet)

It's a long eleven hour, 10 kilometer hike to the summit.   The elevation gain is a "leg burning" 4,500 feet.

You can see the Two Medicine General Store on the far right of the panorama.

An "adventurous" day hike is to walk up Dry Fork Creek to Oldman Lake and Pitamaken Pass.   Turn south to Dawson Pass then walk down to Two Medicine Lake.

If you time the hike correctly, you can catch the passenger boat for a peaceful ride back to the Two Medicine "General Store."

Be sure to ask about "Grasshopper Glacier" before you being your walk.
