    We hiked to Dawson Pass just 2 days before this. Took the boat ride though to shave off a few miles. It was HOT when we did it.

    Remarkable views from the Continental Divide ⛰ Rewarding views that don't expire on this climb up to Dawson Pass. Worthy of a repeat! 👍

    Another fantastic video from Nolan Ventures! Your videos are enjoyable to watch and also informative. I’ve learned so much watching you, thank you for sharing.

    Thanks for your great videos!!! We enjoy watching them. Question - How much water do you typically take on a hike like this one? Electrolytes? We will be there in a couple of weeks, planning on the Pitamakan-Dawson loop amongst other hikes. Do you think it makes a difference whether going out the loop along the North Shore (clockwise from Pray lake) vs counter-clockwise (Pitamakan Pass trail)? Is it worth going counter so that Two Medicine Lake is in the foreground on the way down from Dawson Pass?

    • @kimberlynolan2745

      Let me start by saying great choice with Pitamakan Dawson loop, it’s fantastic! Our recommendation is to go counter clockwise to avoid some extra uphill if going the other direction, which isn’t super awesome at the end of an 18 mile hike. The north shore hike is mostly flat and views of Sinopah behind you as you walk out are easy to stop and admire.
      We have finely tuned out electrolyte/fluid consumption and it is a game changer for us. I carry a liter of wate, 1 liter of green tea, and a body armor drink. Scott carries 3 liter of liquid and a water filter in case we get desperate. We would also recommend cliffbar energy blocks or something similar. The provide needed energy and don’t make you feel weighted down after consuming them.
      Enjoy you hike!! Here’s to a shared enthusiasm for wilderness exploration. Thank you!!

    Great video. How much weight in your packs for these day hikes? Do you do any overnight hikes?

    • @nolanventures473

      Thank you. I’ve never weighed my pack. We do overnights but only film a small percentage of our adventures. Cheers.

    I did Dawson Pass last year (scaled back from the full loop). The descent is freaking hard on the legs, but it's freaking gorgeous up there. Nearly got run over by a moose cow on the way up - turned a blind hairpin in the forest and it was 25 feet away.
    Shooting for the full loop next time I'm there in 2-3 years.

      It is hard on the legs on the way down Dawson for sure. The whole loop is not much harder than what you did. Enjoy the trail!

    What an epic hike! I loved the Two Medicine area so much when I was there last month. Did the moose shake like a dog when it came out of the water? I saw one swimming in Colorado last year and that’s what it did when it came out of the water it was so cool.

      He was slapping his paddles on the water but it was too far away to get good video of it. Two Medicine is a great area- Montana cheers!
