This falls can be reached two ways: one by taking the NPS boat from Swiftcurrent and they will drop you off for 30 minutes to see it, or two, hike inform the Going-to-the-Sun Road on the East side of the park and about a 6 mile hike.

I gave it a score of 2 but it can very well be a 5 for those who are keen to having close encounters with predators.I'm not a hiker. So know that this is the opinion of a city girl who loves nature but knows nothing about hiking. The trail head for St. Mary Falls had a warning sign posted which indicated that the falls are within Grizzly country and to enter at your own risk. Apparently some Grizzlies had been sited by rangers. Well, I thought it was just that. A warning. After all, the falls must be teeming with visitors. At that moment, we were the only ones but we headed on in anyway. I was making lots of noise and singing loudly in case those "bears" we were forewarned about were around. And around they were! The lowest, deepest growl emerged from the bushes to my right in answer to my stupid singing. I felt it reverberating deep in my chest. They tell you to make noise and they also advise not to run. Yeah, right! Fight or flight, my friends. And flight I did. I ran. Up hill. Ran faster than I've ever run in my life. The shot of adrenaline was powerful. I ran all the way back to the car.So heed my warning. If you see signs alerting you to Grizzlies. It's not for giggles. It's for real. There will be bears! Right on the trail!

Caught these falls on our way out to see Virginia Falls. Nice moderate hike. Completed it in a few hours.

We often take this hike, especially with visitors to Montana, as it requires fairly easy exertion and has great reward for the effort. Because it is on the easier side of hikes, this is a well-traveled path and you will encounter others along the way. It's a little over two miles round trip to St. Mary Falls, a tiered waterfall well worth the steps to reach it and a lovely spot on a warm day. Going further, though, to Virginia Falls, where one can walk almost right up to the falls itself, is recommended and delightful. Virginia Falls is just about a half-mile or so farther, uphill. This hike doesn't take long, but why not make a half-day of it and pack in a lunch to eat by the water? (why I recommend > 3hours)Reaching the trail head: this spot fills up FAST with private cars. Go early or go late. OR, take the shuttle to .25 mi. west of the trail head and walk to the beginning of the trail.

Gorgeous. Parking fills up - so you may need to take the shuttle from St. Mary Lodge. Hike was longer than posted due to road construction. There was water to wade at one point on the trail. Trail is rocky - so take your time If you've gone that far, don't miss Virginia Falls - a close add on to the total hike. It was about 1.5 miles each way - farther than I usually hike but worth the effort.

Nice hike. Falls beautiful. Water color just amazing. Would highly recommend this hike. a few up and downs but nothing major.

I already commented on St. Mary Falls through another post but it is certainly a nice hike and beautiful falls.

I recommend hiknig to theses falls as the view is wonderful, but if you hike this far, I recommend continuing on to Virginia Falls as this falls is even better.

do not stop there I you don't mind going up on a go trail. The signs to Virginia Falls are not always clear, but if you take a map you can deal with it. There are cascades between St Mary falls and Virginia Falls, do not stop there. Virginia Falls are further up at the end of the trail.

How many waterfalls can you hike to? Well, this one is not a far hike and of course it is gorgeous. There is a wooden bridge across the river so you will be right in front of the water fall. The hike is not too strenuous. I looks like they are adding more parking areas here. The hike to the falls is nice, but the falls and the river... you must see.
