Moderate to hard, 13.4 mi Out and Back

2,411 ft elevation gain

Hiked 7/9/25

I saw a Grizzly Bear while hiking along this trail, photos on c/wildlifephotography.

Oldman Lake hosts the first campsite for a couple of hikes continuing from there and not usually out and back. Its a section of my all time favorite hike, the Dawson-Pitamakan loop trail, which I ended up only doing this section of as an out and back due to bee sting and a tired thigh from closing out CA.

Flinsch Peak and an unnamed lower peak in front of it.

What I believe to be a Canada Jay staring down at me. Was constantly on the move so only had a acouple decent photos before it left the area with its pals.

Small double waterfall seen along the trail. 1/8s exposure.

How far from Yellowstone National Park? I love to explore other parks in the area.

It’s along the northern border fairly west in MT, so I think maybe 4 hours if you were headed from Yellowstone. I’ve never gone direct between the two on any of my visits but it’s certainly an option.
