Running Eagle Falls Glacier National Park

 This trail is in the Two Medicine Area. It is a 0.6 mile round trip hike to Running Eagle Falls (also called Trick Falls). It is a nice flat hike to a waterfall. The trail is in the woods, with most of the wildflowers gone.

 But there were still some wildflowers in bloom.


 Our first look at Running Eagle Falls. When the snowmelt is high, the water also runs over the rock above where the falls come out of the cave. This late in the summer, the water only fall out of the cave in the rocks.

We then spent a couple of hours kayaking on Two Medicine Lake before the thunderstorm arrived.
