Flinsch Peak

Spent beautiful day hiking up from Two Medicine Lake to Dawson Pass to Pitamakan Pass back to Two Medicine Lake via Continental Divide / Pitamakan Pass Trail. This view of Flinsch Peak (over Oldman Lake) and the views while on Dawson Pass Trail for two miles were highlights. Bring water - didn't find opportunity for water as other hikes in GNP and this loop was 18.9 miles with lots of elevation change.

Flinsch is now visible in its entirety, and then you reach the pass......and if you're like me, at that point you stop, not even thinking to take off your pack; stop, and just look. And say something inspirational to fill the moment, like a softly spoken, "Wow..." Or, even after a lifetime of seeing, "...ohmygoodness these mountains are...BIG." Then (if you're like me) Mount Morgan... Mount Morgan, from Dawson Pass.you remember you have a camera, have enough sense to drop your pack, and start running from one end of the pass to the other, because every few steps seems to bring something even more—or at least as worthy as what was just a few feet ago—wonderful of which to take a picture. Dawson Pass does that to you. Cresting its shoulder brings an in-your-face confrontation with the likes of—these all rising out of the Nyack and Coal Creek Valleys thousands of feet below—a (really) massive (and this is the first thing to grab your attention) Mount Phillips, Mount Saint Nicholas, Battlement, Vigil, Lone Walker, Pinchot, Glacier's second highest summit in Mount Stimson, Blackfoot Mountain, standing huge and glaciated in the distance, while closer is relatively unknown Tinkham Mountain...and it is all there for the taking, on a gently rounded saddle between Mount Helen and Flinsch Peak. And still, up and away in the near distance: the horn of Flinsch Peak.-Saint Grizzly

Was there Aug 31 2019 with my friend Matthew! It was the best hike for me about whole 3 months I’ve been there. I wish I could go back 💕I’m just small guy from Thailand who fall in love with Glacier National Park and your country 😊
