Rockwell Falls Trail

08/15/25

Omg!!! One of the top two hikes of my life. How can it get better than this? This hike is in the Two Medicine area of Glacier NP. MUCH less crowded and dare I say even more beautiful. Parking was easy in our dually truck. We were greated by wildlife right from the start: mountain goats in the parking lot. On our way back we saw two moose not very far from the trail, both a cow and bull. Take a lunch and eat at either the suspension bridge or next to the waterfall. It is a must to cross the creek at the base of the waterfall and climb up to the top to see all the many different layering of waterfalls. About half way up is a great swimming hole which is not dangerous. The trail with the climb up to the waterfall and exploring it was 7.0 miles. Total elevation gain of the 7 miles is 604ft. I would classify this trail as easy to moderate, depending on your choice to explore up the waterfalls.

Hike to Two Medicine Pass

Starting at the South Shore trailhead on Two Medicine Lake (parking available), you'll follow the lake through alternating forest and meadows and eventually cross a small suspension bridge. Afterwards the trail forks. Take the "Two Medicine Pass" trail on the left rather than the Twin Falls/Upper Two Medicine Lake trail and continue up until you reach Rockwell Falls, which is a popular destin...

Two Medicine Lake

Two Medicine Lake sits in the southeastern part of Glacier NP away from the more popular Going-to-the-Sun Road. The 2-mile long lake has a 100 site campground that serves visitors on a first-come-first-serve basis; the campground opens mid-April and closes in November. From the main parking area, 12 different hikes can be accessed as well as a ramp for launching watercraft. (NPS.gov Map) The ...

Hike to Scenic Point in Glacier National Park

Park at the trailhead and begin the hike. The trail starts out relatively flat until you reach a small waterfall. Then, hike up the switchbacks for about 4 miles while gaining around 2300 feet. From the top, you can see both Upper Two Medicine Lake and Two Medicine Lake. The views are stunning. Turn around on the same path that you came from and start your descent.

Dawson Pass

This is a somewhat strenuous but extremely rewarding hike in Glacier National Park. It is much less crowded than the more popular Logan Pass and High Line trails, and in my opinion, more rewarding. Dawson Pass is on the Continental Divide at an elevation of 7,598 feet. It sits between Mt. Helen and Flinsch Peak. You will get amazing panoramic views of Glacier National Park, but be prepared for...

Pitamakan Pass

This gripping, 16 mile round trail reveals adventure at every turn. Nestled behind Pray Lake in Glacier National Park, the Pitamakan Pass hike will begin at the North Shore Trailhead. To access this trailhead, a fifteen dollar fee may be payed to cross Pray Lake by boat. If your pocket book is running dry or you're really wanting to burn some extra calories, a 1.5 mile trail near Two Medicine C...

Upper Two Medicine Lake

I did this trip during the end of autumn, and was pretty much the only person on the entire lake. With it being so serene and so quiet, I had the perfect nature getaway. I made sure to watch an epic sunrise on Two Medicine Lake, then spend the day taking my time to the upper lake and back, with a few small side trips along the way. Once you have reached Two Medicine Lake by car, find the Upper...
