Hike a short, steep trail to reach a dramatic cascading waterfall.

Apikuni Falls
Directions

Apikuni Falls is a striking waterfall tucked into the Many Glacier region of Glacier National Park. The destination is accessed via a short but steep out-and-back trail that climbs roughly 600 feet of elevation gain in under a mile. Hikers who tackle the steady uphill climb are rewarded with sweeping valley views and an up-close sight of the tumbling cascade.

Quick tip: Wear sturdy hiking boots and carry bear spray, as the trail features loose rock on steep inclines and passes through active bear habitat.
