Running Eagle Falls
Also known as the 'Double Falls of the Running Eagle.' In spring, two streams pour out of the rock face at the same time, making this a rare double-tiered waterfall.
Running Eagle Falls is named after Running Eagle, a female warrior of the Blackfeet. The flat trail is only about 1.2 km round trip, making it suitable for the whole family. During snowmelt season, water tumbles over the cliff top, while another stream gushes from a cave below. In late summer the upper flow dries up, leaving only the spring at the cave mouth, which is why it is also called 'March Falls.' It is located beside the road at the entrance to the Two Medicine area and can be visited together with Two Medicine Lake.
