Montana trails · Two Medicine Pass
A 9.1-mile network in Montana, with 2,918 ft of climbing. Reaches Chief Lodgepole Peak and other lake/pass/summit/waterfall destinations. Managed by the National Park Service.
The climbing is spread fairly evenly along the route. It gives back about 3,008 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:16 a.m., the sun rises at 6:49 a.m. and sets at 8:17 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:50 p.m. (MDT) — 13 h 28 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 9.1-mile route takes roughly 4 h 49 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 11:38 a.m. — 8 h 39 min before sunset.
