What to expect

  1. Goat Lick Overlook
    10m
    Go see Glacier's National Park's official mascots, the Mountain Goats, at a natural salt-lick!
  2. Silver Staircase Falls
    5m
    The Silver Staircase Waterfall is a beautiful cascade of shimmering waters, and it’s particularly impressive during spring runoff. But, the best part of all? You can enjoy it right from the road!
  3. 5m
    This statue, one of a set of four, marks the entrance to the Blackfoot Nation. Created from barbed wire, rusty bits of cars, and stones from a mission school, this statue is one of four that mark the entrances to the Blackfoot Nation.
  4. Kiowa
    10m
    The big stop at Kiowa is the Kyiyo Bakery and Mercantile, Kyiyo meaning bear in Blackfoot language. It’s home to some pretty famous fried chicken, and it’s also the last place to eat until after we leave the park. So, if you’re hungry, feel free to pop by.
  5. 5m
    This scenic roadway has several overlooks where you can get some early glimpses of Two Medicine and the Lewis Mountain Range.
  6. East Glacier Park
    30m
    The town of East Glacier is a last-stop before entering Two Medicine. The town has an Amtrack Station, the East Glacier Lodge, and a few amenities, hotels, and restaurants.
  7. 1h
    The Running Eagle Falls trail is just over half a mile long, and takes you to, you guessed it, Running Eagle Falls. The double waterfall is absolutely stunning, tumbling over 30 feet into a clear pool below. But what makes this hike even more amazing is that this is, in fact, the very same falls where Running Eagle underwent her life-changing vision quest. The trail also includes interpretive signs that tell you about the local plant life, and their traditional uses by the local tribes.
  8. Continental Divide Trail
    2h
    The Continental Divide Trail is a little too long for a day hike, seeing as it’s somewhere around 3,100 miles long. But at the the trailhead, you can enjoy an easy, one-and-a-half mile trail to the beautiful Appistoki Waterfall.
  9. Pass by
    There are two great hiking trails here on the North Shore. One of the most popular trails in Two Medicine is the Trail to the Upper Two Medicine Lake, and the other trail lets you visit Glacier's famous Triple Divide peak.
  10. 10m
    The South Shore Ranger Station is a great first stop if you need information on backcountry hikes, boat rentals, or just need to chat with a ranger.
  11. 30m
    Park in any of the five parking areas on this short loop to have a picnic, relax a little, and enjoy walking along Two Medicine’s rocky shoreline.
  12. Pass by
    At Two Medicine's South Shore, enjoy a relaxing boat ride, hike to scenic spots like Paradise Point or Aster Falls, or shop at the general store. Paradise Point offers a 1.4-mile round trip to stunning lake views, while Aster Falls features a 3.8-mile hike to a waterfall and panoramic overlook.
