Our take

Rockwell Falls is reached via a 7-mile round-trip moderate hike from the South Shore Trailhead in Glacier National Park’s Two Medicine area. The trail climbs 375 feet from the trailhead to the falls.

Glacier National Park entrance fees apply ($35 for a seven-day vehicle pass). Two Medicine offers multiple trailhead options, so you can combine this hike with nearby destinations if time permits.

Dogs are not permitted on park trails. Check current trail conditions with the National Park Service before visiting, as trails in Two Medicine may close temporarily due to maintenance, weather, or wildlife activity.

Learn more from the NPS Two Medicine hiking guide.
