Running Eagle / Trick Falls in Glacier National Park

Trick Falls is actually two separate waterfalls at this location. During the spring run-off, water rushes over the top ledge, creating a 40-foot drop, while completely or partially obscuring the lower falls. However, as the volume of water decreases by late summer, and the upper falls "dries up," water continues to rush through a sink hole at the top of the cliff before flowing out of an opening in the cliff face below thus creating the lower 20-foot falls.
