Apikuni Falls

Apikuni Falls is located in Glacier National Park. In fact, it is close to the Many Glacier area one of the park's most visited areas. The falls are located at St. Mary in Glacier County, close to Altyn Peak slightly east of Natahki Lake, and at a height of around 5,500 feet. This 150-foot waterfall is regarded by many visitors to the national park as one of the most impressive in the area.

Aside from the cliffs towering far above the trees, the area around the falls is rather open. You're going to most likely walk right into those trees, where you might remember the prior grizzly bear habitat cautions.

Most people spend between 30 minutes and an hour completing the trek to the falls and back. The possibly dangerous canyon rim should be approached cautiously due to the steep grade and a good quantity of loose gravel-type conditions.

There are no signs and much of the area is surrounded by private land because this is within the picturesque Kootenai National Forest and the trailhead to the falls is not an official, designated one.
