Walk just a little further down the trail and you'll arrive at Deadwood Falls, a beautiful 10-foot waterfall with deep, crystal clear pools of water above and below the falls. There's also quite a bit of rock around the waterfall, making this an excellent spot for a snack break or a picnic lunch.

Length: 14.9 miles One of the most stunning hikes we’ve ever experienced! Yes, 15 miles is a lot, but there are beautiful sights wherever you turn on the Highline Trail. We highly recommend starting a bit earlier in the day to beat the heat and foot traffic, but the great thing about this hike is that you can jump into it at different points. Looking for something a bit easier? Start at Logan Pass for a great 3-mile hike – just a bit more sustainable for the knees! – that’ll provide excellent...
Length: 1.7 miles Okay, we know we threw a big one at you, so let’s ease up the brakes with the Sun Point Nature Trail. Sun Point isn’t as populated as St. Mary, Highline, or other trails, so you can expect a bit more solitude on your nature excursion. However, if you’d like to hop along to the next level, Sun Point gets you over to St. Mary Falls trail for an even more spectacular view along St. Mary’s Lake to the misty Virginia Falls. Either way, you’ll find plenty of smiling wildflowers an...

It is a 2 mile round trip hike down to a fantastic set of water falls, in red rock. right down the path is a swinging bridge over the creek, an added bonus. Covered trail helps protect you from winds during colder days, and protects from the sun on hot days.
