This short and amazing hike is a popular one in Glacier for a reason. The trailhead is easily accessible right on the Going-To-The-Sun Road between Logan Pass and the Saint Mary entrance on the east side of the park. In a short 4 miles with little elevation gain, the peaks of Glacier are visible and two significant water falls (Saint Mary Falls & Virginia Falls) are easily accessible. In this video we walked this trail in June when the runoff is typically high - subsequently the falls were abundantly flowing with real power.

Great time of year for water flow - just be sure to respect it. It’s a great trail if you cant go very far or handle much elevation gain. Well done Nolans. 🇺🇸

Those waterfalls are amazing... Baring is a good one too. But Virginia Falls is my favorite there.

Yes they are! Thank you.

Agreed! 👍 I have actually never hiked to Baring Falls although it's a short distance from, can be easily added to this hike, and is often done as a triple. Thank you very much!! ⛰

We started really early for that reason, like before 7am, and it was worth it! Extraordinary morning in Glacier ⛰ Thank you!! 👍

Yes. The parking at the trailhead is limited…but you can get to it from the Sun Point parking area. It does add 2 miles to the hike each way along Saint Mary lake.

Great video. We were there last week but didn’t make it out to these falls. It was our first trip and definitely won’t be the last. We were able to do Hidden lake, Avalanche lake, Scenic Point and a few other smaller trails.

Well, yes it was cold, but more than that, it was powerful and impressive. Many would withstand the cold for a moment to experience that. It's power was moving actually, I didn't pay a lot of attention to the cold until 30 minutes later, my hands were still stiff from it 😁😆 This place is amazing and then some ⛰ Thank you!!
