October 2, 2020Super easy hike. Nice. waterfalls. Make sure to see Sun Point a mile away.
September 29, 2020Beautiful fall colors in the trees. Views of St. Mary’s Lake while on the trail to the waterfalls. Easy and enjoyable with the kids.
September 28, 2020September 28, 2020September 28, 2020Amazing trail. Completed the entire loop, approximately 14.6 miles. Beginning of the trail was some what challenging as it was a straight up climb through heavy brush. After a few miles the trail cleared up, but it was very icy and filled with heavy packed snow. At the top of the pass the snow had covered the trail and we were usable to pass and had to scramble through the top of the mountain. After making it across the entire trail was covered and we were unable to follow it, and had to "create" our own trail. After several falls and slides we were able to somewhat find the switchbacks and continued our descent. After all this was an amazing hike, filled with challenges, but very rewarding with some amazing views of glaciers and mountain tops covered in snow.!
September 27, 2020September 27, 2020This is a short easy hike for the whole family. It was a pleasant stroll with Mountain View’s. We reached a waterfall that was really nice. We ended up continuing to the gorge and then walked back through the main highway. We don’t recommend this, cars are too close!
September 24, 2020Rained and hailed the whole time but water was really running so awesome views!
September 18, 2020September 16, 2020Short and sweet with beautiful payoff at the end.
September 13, 20205-star waterfall, decent walk. Stays pleasantly cool near falls
September 12, 2020Lovely colors and relatively even- not too much up and down! Glorious glacier day!!
September 10, 2020September 9, 2020September 8, 2020Would say 5 stars if it wasn’t for the crowds, but we did go in July. Gorgeous views of Saint Mary Lake, which in my opinion was more exciting than the falls themselves. Pretty easy hike even with small children.
September 7, 2020Beautiful short hike. Overgrown in some areas but the peace and quiet made the hike worth it.
September 6, 2020September 6, 2020September 5, 2020Long hike but full of great views! There is quite some elevation gain but it doesn’t feel that hard most of the way. Loved it!
September 5, 2020September 5, 2020Lovely Falls, continued on to St. Mary's Falls and Virginia Falls.
September 3, 2020crowded, recommend separate Baring falls & Sun point, from St. Mary falls & Virgina falls.
September 2, 2020Beautiful hike along St Mary River from Siyah Pass trailhead. Can go to St Mary & Virginia Falls trailhead 1.2 mi.
September 1, 2020Relatively easy hike with incredible views! Trails were well marked. We went around 3pm on a Tuesday and it was difficult to find parking and very busy on the trail. I’d say about 1/2 of people were wearing masks.
August 27, 2020Easy hike to photogenic waterfall. No bugs and trail in good shape. You can walk to St. Mary and Virgina Waterfall from here.
August 24, 2020August 24, 2020August 23, 2020Took this trail and connected to St Mary’s. Made it more scenic and definitely would recommend!
August 21, 2020Quick hike along a river to an amazing waterfall.
