These two very popular Glacier National Park Falls are a short hike off the historic "Going-to-the-Sun-Road"

SAINT MARY FALLS is  8/10th of a mile one way  and the elevation gain is 35 feet.   This Saint Mary Falls trail receives heavy use, is well maintained, and is easy to hike.   The dense, deep-green forest is made up mostly of Douglas Fir and Maple trees.   The beautiful Saint Mary's Falls trail parallels Virginia Creek prior to arriving at a footbridge crossing the Saint Mary River for a close-up view of Saint Mary Falls.

VIRGINIA FALLS is 1.55 miles one way with an elevation gain of 110 feet.    Continuing past the footbridge, you parallel the confluence of the Saint Mary River and Virginia Creek and soon you will hear the thundering roar as you approach Virginia Falls. The waters that feed Virginia Falls come from Citadel Mountain and Almost-A-Dog Mountain to the south.
