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 Glacier National Park (NPS) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bird Woman Falls drops about 560 feet. That makes it the 20th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 97% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.

Access is documented as roadside. No trail distance is on record for Bird Woman Falls. The nearest town is West Glacier. Confirm access and land status with Glacier National Park (NPS) before setting out — some documented falls have no public route at all.

Late spring snowmelt (Jun-Jul). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
