グレイシャー郡の滝・トップ7

The Virginia Falls are a waterfall in Glacier National Park that is worth seeing. They are relatively easy to reach on foot from the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The distance is about 3 km, and the elevation changes are moderate. The challenge, however, will be to get one of the few parking spaces.

Over this section, you will traverse the northern, innermost wall of the cirque (or “punchbowl” as I like to call them) located to the west of Mount Grinnell. The section offers breathtaking views on Mount Grinnell and the Swiftcurrent Glacier, and the experience itself of descending through this cirque is absolutely unreal!

Stoney Indian Pass is the route less traveled by as CDT hikers begin (or end) their journey, though as you can see, it is absolutely worth taking as an alternate if you choose not to enter Canada! Along the west side of the pass, you are treated to the gorgeous Stoney Indian Lake, while the east side of the pass is laden with waterfall after breathtaking waterfall, all set against the backdrop of stunning glacially carved peaks!

Baring Falls drops about 25 feet over a rock ledge on its way to Saint Mary Lake. The area is also a nesting area for the American Dipper, which be seen around the waterfall.

A very short detour of the Continental Divide Trail and I'd say a waterfall as big as this should always be worth a detour.

Beautiful double waterfall, quite easy to reach with many different viewing areas.

The beautiful falls are just a short hike from the parking lot. The water from Two Medicine Creeks cascades into a small natural pool.

The St. Mary Falls can be reached on a short and flat path. They impress with the two staggered steps and their height.
