We hiked past all the waterfalls on this trail, Baring Falls, St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls. The extra distance to Virginia Falls was worth the effort.

A long uphill hike for 2 70+ yr olds but well worth the hike. Spectacular views along the way and at the falls.

Most people turn back at St. Mary Falls...go on an extra 10-15 minutes and enjoy this beauty! Watch for American Dippers in the swift moving water.

This is an easy hike to both waterfalls....very beautiful hike, after you hit the first waterfall keep going, Virginia Falls is after St. Mary's, very different waterfalls, both unique. Pretty much anyone can do this hike, not too hard on the knees.

The trail is heavily travelled to St Mary's falls. Past that it is very pleasant. There are several locations to see the falls on the way up. Its a good hike which can be taken as slow or as fast as necessary.

Another beautiful trail at Glacier. There were 2 other Falls on the way to Virginia Falls, so you could turn around after reaching those and not feel cheated. They are all beautiful!

This is a great hike for just about anyone. The waterfall is beautiful and you can even get right up to the base of it (this can be cold and wet). It is at it's fullest in the spring.

This is about 6 miles round-trip but is a very easy hike. Very nice to do and only takes about 2 hours (or 3 hours with many picture-taking breaks)!

There's no reason to stop going at St. Mary Falls, unless you're short on time. The difficulty is about the same with double the distance to go to Virginia Falls, and they are much more stunning.

There were many beautiful waterfalls along the trail between St Mary Falls and up to Virginia Falls, so a very scenic hike up to the top. It gets a bit steeper near the end, but is definitely worth the time. Water bottles and hiking poles make for a nicer walk.
