Welcome to the beautiful 55-miles of US-2 from the town of West Glacier to East Glacier Park. People tend to ignore this highway with so much to see driving across Glacier’s Going-to-the-Sun Road, but US-2 is so worth a trip. Come on along and see . . .
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!
In the Many Glacier section of Glacier National Park there are lots of hikes to lakes, waterfalls, mountain tops, and even glaciers. The hikes are long and steep, but we’ll be doing what’s considered a gentle family-friendly hike to Redrock Falls. Walking 3.6 miles round-trip with only a 230 ft. elevation gain. We can do this–and oh, the views. It sure looks and even feels like rain, but the forecast says no, so here’s hoping.
Well hi! What a delight to visit Glacier National Park again. Let’s take a two-waterfall hike to Saint Mary Falls then Virginia Falls on the east side of the park. This is the first time for me and maybe you too, so grab your gear and let’s go. It will be 3.6 miles round trip with lots of wide switchbacks taking us first down about 260 feet then up about 280 feet–then doing it in reverse. Let’s take our time and enjoy the ramble because we’ll no doubt be huffing and puffing as we go!
