Overview

Situated in the Two Medicine area, Running Eagle Falls holds religious significance for the Blackfeet Nation. Here Weasel Woman, later known as Running Eagle because of her bravery and warrior status, reportedly experienced her vision quest. Due to its short, wheelchair accessible trail, Running Eagle Falls is a perfect site for the entire family. Also known as Trick Falls, this feature is actually two falls in one – during run-off, water rushes over the upper falls, obscuring the lower falls. By late summer, the upper falls slows to a trickle while water rushes through the lower falls.

Location/Directions

Running Eagle Falls is located in east Glacier. From Highway 49, take Two Medicine Road 4.5 miles west until you arrive at the parking area. From here, it is an easy .3 mile stroll.

Season

See water charging over the upper falls during late spring through mid summer. Lower falls visibility is best mid summer to mid autumn.
