Bird Woman Falls

Bird Woman Falls is a waterfall in Glacier National Park that descends in two major cascades. The water originates from snowfields and glaciers on the slopes of Mount Oberlin.

The waterfall was named after a figure from Western exploration history and marks a natural boundary within Glacier National Park. The landscape was shaped primarily by the region's glacial activity.

The name Bird Woman holds significance in Native American heritage, reflecting the deep connection between indigenous peoples and the natural features of Montana.

The best place to view the waterfall is from designated pullouts along Going-to-the-Sun Road. The falls can be seen throughout the year, though water volume changes with the seasons.

The water flow changes dramatically with the seasons, strongest during spring snowmelt and reduced to barely a trickle by autumn. This seasonal variation makes the falls look entirely different depending on when you visit.
