In the far southeast corner of Glacier National Park is a rugged area with beautiful lakes and waterfalls called Two Medicine. I’ve been to this area twice. Both times it rained but both times I walked to Running Eagle Falls. Rain or not, doing a trail that is 0.6 miles round trip is doable. My camera was happy under my broad brim hat. Today the sun is shining bright so let’s do some waterfall hikes in Two Medicine!
Huh? What? OK, OK . . . no nearby palm trees, no soft white or cream colored sands, but beaches nevertheless! Just make sure you wear shoes! Let’s go . . .
The North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park is about half the size of the South Unit. The two Units are not directly connected but the Little Missouri River flows through both with the best views in the North. So starting from the South Unit in Medora, North Dakota, let’s embark on the 75 minute drive and explore the North Unit!
Besides water. The Missouri/Yellowstone confluence–point of joining–is in North Dakota, about four miles east of the Montana state line. What makes this river confluence important enough for this huge, beautiful Visitor Center? Let’s have a look!
