Bird Woman Falls
Directions

Bird Woman Falls is a dramatic 492-foot waterfall cascading down the slopes of Mount Oberlin in Glacier National Park. Fed by melting glaciers and snowfields, this majestic fall plunges into a lush hanging valley west of the Continental Divide. Visitors can easily admire the view from a dedicated roadside pullout along the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Quick tip: Bring binoculars or a telephoto camera lens for the best view from the roadside overlook.
