Grinnell Falls

Within Glacier National Park in Montana, Grinnell Falls is a well-known and iconic waterfall. The Grinnell Glacier Trail offers a clear view of the falls, which are distinguished by their wishbone-shaped course of descent.

However, the pathway somewhat deviates from the creek, providing no clear path to get closer to the falls. The Grinnell Glacier, one of Montana's most breathtaking places and a geological wonder, serves as the falls' drainage point of origin. It is an absolute "must-see" for anyone traveling to the park or the state.

The waterfalls, which originate from the glacier and flow into Grinnell Creek, then cascade down the valley headwall over a distance of around 960 feet, with the first drop being the largest at almost 300 feet. You'll start to see the Grinnell Falls cascading what appears to be hundreds of feet down toward the west end of the lake as you continue down the trail.

You will eventually arrive at the Grinnell Glacier and its icebergs drifting beneath Salamander Falls if you continue climbing past the crest of this waterfall. Another stunning waterfall in the area that is well worth visiting, this is the kind of landscape that keeps tourists coming back to Montana.
