Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check National Park Service (Glacier National Park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions

The Apikuni Falls Trail reaches it about 1.6 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 651 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Babb.

Late June to September. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
