Going-to-the-Sun Waterfalls

A particularly dramatic waterfall beneath Logan Pass


The Going-to-the-Sun Waterfalls page is where I'm putting a bunch of the waterfalls that we've noticed and photographed while driving the east side of the Going-to-the-Sun Road between St Mary and Logan Pass. We couldn't go beyond Logan Pass because the road was closed between here and Avalanche Creek, which was a royal bummer. I guess we'll have to come back and augment this page with more of the waterfalls we're sure to see when the road's open.

Anyways, the waterfalls I'm putting here are primarily those that we considered miscellaneous roadside waterfalls without any particular signage calling attention to them, or hiking done to get closer to them. I'm sure some of these might have names or have more intimate hiking trails to get closer to them, but until we're able to get close to them individually, then we'll document these falls collectively in this page.

Speaking of formal names, I don't think I can accurately identify most of these waterfalls by name without a little more information (that I probably could've obtained by doing some of these hikes, which I had to be selective about due to time and grizzly bears).

Directions: The waterfalls on this page were primarily seen on the Going-to-the-Sun Road between St Mary and Logan Pass. St Mary, MT is about 8.5 miles south of Babb, MT on Hwy 89.
