Our take

Appistoki Falls is a 1.2-mile round-trip hike in Glacier National Park’s Two Medicine area. Despite its short distance, the trail is steep for its length, with 260 feet of elevation gain from the Scenic Point parking area.

This waterfall requires the same Glacier National Park entrance fee as other park hikes ($35 for a seven-day vehicle pass). No vehicle reservation is required as of the 2026 season.

Dogs are not permitted on park trails. The Scenic Point parking area provides access to multiple Two Medicine trails, so you can combine this hike with other nearby destinations if you have more time. Always check current trail conditions with the National Park Service before visiting, as trails here may be temporarily closed due to weather or bear activity.

Learn more about Two Medicine trails at the official NPS hiking guide.
