Thanks for the awesome video Jake & Kristen. I know what I’m doing next time I’m in Glacier, which should be June 2025. While I’ve done several hikes there in the Two Medicine area, I have yet to campout and do this hike and Dawson. Maybe I can talk my wife & daughter into a quick 11hr drive from NW OR in October for some camping and viewing western Larch & Shakers. Would love to see them on Lake McD & Single Shot Mtn foreground. Cheers & take care.

Thanks for the great video, I got my best pictures of the pine siskins when I was out west.we get them in the winter sometimes in Pennsylvania, Have you been at your hawkwatch I see you got Golden eagles already, It's just starting to heat up on our site Route 183 In Pennsylvania

I was in Glacier for a few days when you did the 734 project. I did not discover the project until some time after I returned home. I watched every video, many more than once. Dawson-Pitamakin was one of my favorites. It is still on my bucket list. Thanks for the video!

Crazy that you did this all in a day from the loop. That route up iceberg and back around from the book is a slog. We started at the chalet back down to the loop and we were smoked. Iceberg is unreal though, all worth it.

I'll be up on Mt. Brown for some hawk watch stints in September and October. I was heading up to Snyder to hike as I'd not been up there since it burned. I actually had done a Harlequin Duck survey on Snyder (gosh that was a terrible bushwhacky business) and realized that it'd changed a ton!

Thank you, Jake. Great video, as usual. You don’t have to justify “re-hiking” a trail. Every time I return to GNP I re-hike several trails. I hiked to Iceberg Lake in June in the snow, which was great (I live in Louisiana). That was my third time. It is different every time; although I’ve seen at least one moose on each trip.

@hike734 20 күн бұрын

For sure! I guess if I have a specific reason to re-hike it, I'll say it. :D Iceberg is a great trail and so good for big animals!

@Taskerofpuppets Ай бұрын

That was really nice, Jake. Thanks for the footage. You do a ‘stellar’ job capturing all the different birds & waterfowl. So cool to see East Porcupine and Cleveland from that perspective. The waterfalls of St. Francis remind me of the waterfalls you can see along Gunsight Trail off in the distance coming off Citadel as you approach Mirror Lake. Inspiring back pack trip from Waterton Lakes NP.

@hike734 20 күн бұрын

I notice plants and animals all of the time and love to share. My hope is that others notice all the insane variety as well! I agree with the waterfall. The walk up to Gunsight Pass gives you such great views of the waterfalls coming down the tortured layers that have been folded over.

We are thinking about doing this hike in early September. What was your mileage from Logan Pass to Granite Park Chalet and back (including Grinnell Glacier Overlook)? We thought about hiking down to The Loop and taking the shuttle, but I've seen negative reviews on that part of the hike so may want to do this as an out and back.

@Scottvidas Ай бұрын

I wish the Park would open the trail sooner. Years ago trail crews would cut through the big snow drift at the end of the cliff section but now waits for more melting. I detest the Loop trail and had to use it this year again because Highline was still closed.

@toddwood5190 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the memories. I did that hike but all the way to Many Glacier Campground in 2012. The Sun Road didn’t open until two days after I departed this year. But hiking to Iceberg Lake in the snow was awesome for this flatlander.

Great video, and we love your map! I'm not crazy about heights and really don't think I can do the goat trail portion of this hike. If the trail was a bit wider maybe, but it looks pretty narrow. I don't see this on the hike 734 map, but is it worth doing Pitamakan Pass as an out-and-back instead? It seems like it would be around 15-17mi total.

@hike734 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, it's a bit hairier than I'd originally remembered it as I'm not as bothered by heights. Then went on it with some folks who had a fear of heights and they definitely got wigged out! I think your calculations are good for round trip to Pitamakan Pass at a bit over 15 miles.

@christysellers9088 3 ай бұрын

@@hike734 thanks for the response! Your video as well as others I've seen makes me very sure I can't do that portion of the loop. Know your limits. I think we'll do Dawson Pass one day (use the boat on the return) and maybe do Pitamakan Pass the second day for our last long hike day. I looked at Firebrand Pass as well, but from the descriptions I've seen I think we'd prefer Pitamakin. Of course we'll have alternatives in case of trail closures - learned that lesson the first time we went to Glacier!
