Apikuni Falls is a 1.6-mile round-trip waterfall hike in Glacier National Park’s Many Glacier area. The trail is moderately steep, climbing 600 to 700 feet from the Apikuni parking area over a relatively short distance, making it a workout despite its brevity.
Access requires payment of the Glacier National Park entrance fee (currently $35 for a seven-day vehicle pass as of the 2026 summer rate). No advance vehicle reservation is required. The trail had been closed due to the June 2026 flooding at Many Glacier but reopened by July 1, 2026.
Dogs are not permitted on this park trail. Before visiting, check current conditions with the National Park Service, as this area may be subject to temporary closures related to bear activity or seasonal maintenance.
