The trailhead is 1.1 miles west of the Two Medicine entrance station. A wide, well-kept path leads through forest, over a footbridge, to a platform overlooking the falls. Hiking in Glacier says it is one of two accessible trails in the park. In spring the upper fall covers the lower one; by late summer water flows through an opening in the cliff below.
