Saint Mary & Virginia Falls Trail in Glacier National Park 4K

- This short and amazing hike is a popular one in Glacier for a reason. The trailhead is easily accessible right on the Going-To-The-Sun Road between Logan Pass and the Saint Mary entrance on the east side of the park. In a short 4 miles with little elevation gain, the peaks of Glacier are visible and two significant water falls (Saint Mary Falls & Virginia Falls) are easily accessible. In this video we walked this trail in June when the runoff is typically high - subsequently the falls were abundantly flowing with real power.
Beautiful water!
Yes, thanks
Great Video. Thanks for sharing!
You bet! Thank you👍
Awesome views, no bears, not many other people, really enjoyed the hike!!!!!!
3 things we like on the trail! Thank you.
My wife and me will be there in 2 weeks. Im really motivated to see the weather you are having and how beautiful everything looks. ❤❤
We hope you enjoy your time in Montana!

A whole lot of awesome on this hike!! ⛰❤ Goodness 😳😁🤩
👊🏻😎🇺🇸
My wife and I did this hike last week, and it was wonderful! So cool to hike a regrowing forest due to fire damage.
Very cool. We are glad you enjoyed the venture out in Glacier Country. Montana cheers!
We too were impressed with the beauty after the fire. Some added expansive views beyond the burn as well as the wildflowers and new growth. So cool that you guys enjoyed it too. Thank you!! ⛰👍
Great time of year for water flow - just be sure to respect it. It’s a great trail if you cant go very far or handle much elevation gain. Well done Nolans. 🇺🇸
Thank you - cheers.
That looks like a great hike all the wildflowers and the waterfalls, very nice, it looked like you had the place to yourselves ❤
Best time of year for this one
We started really early for that reason, like before 7am, and it was worth it! Extraordinary morning in Glacier ⛰ Thank you!! 👍
Yes. The parking at the trailhead is limited…but you can get to it from the Sun Point parking area. It does add 2 miles to the hike each way along Saint Mary lake.
Great video. We were there last week but didn’t make it out to these falls. It was our first trip and definitely won’t be the last. We were able to do Hidden lake, Avalanche lake, Scenic Point and a few other smaller trails.
Glad you enjoyed your time in Glacier Country. Sounds like you hit some good trails. Cheers!
Bet that water was cold! You mentioned great colors in the valley ….. everything looked so green and lush.
Yes! Thank you!
Well, yes it was cold, but more than that, it was powerful and impressive. Many would withstand the cold for a moment to experience that. It's power was moving actually, I didn't pay a lot of attention to the cold until 30 minutes later, my hands were still stiff from it 😁😆 This place is amazing and then some ⛰ Thank you!!
Great video! Used these and other Nolan Ventures videos to plan our trip to Glacier. We hiked St. Mary, Virginia Falls and Baring Falls this past Thursday, 8/8, the shortest hike of our week at 5.5 miles. Virginia Falls was the best. Wishing I had jumped in the water off the walking bridge at St. Mary Falls but will leave that for the next trip!
Thank for the comment and glad you were able to get in some good miles in Glacier Country. It is fantastic- Montana cheers!
Those waterfalls are amazing... Baring is a good one too. But Virginia Falls is my favorite there.
Yes they are! Thank you.
Agreed! 👍 I have actually never hiked to Baring Falls although it's a short distance from, can be easily added to this hike, and is often done as a triple. Thank you very much!! ⛰
Swainsons thrush. What a beautiful melody. You should come to wild wonderful West Virginia to hear its cousin the Wood Thrush….great video as always guys. Thanks for sharing
They are plentiful in Glacier and are amazing. Thank you!
Thank you for that info, much appreciated! Here's to enjoying the wilderness 👍⛰
We went two weeks ago but I personally didn't make it to the top fall. My husband and kids did! I wish I would have though. It's a beautiful place.
It is a great place. All of Glacier is - thank you.
Best easy hike in GNP!
I cannot disagree with that. 🤠🇺🇸
Yes
The unnamed falls should be named, Nolan Falls. Appreciate the views , thanks!!!
I second that! 😂 Cheers.
I second that as well 😆👍 Thank you, here's to enjoying the wilderness ⛰
Beautiful hike
Thank you! It really is.
