Twin Falls Trail is 0.9 Miles from the boat dock at the end of Two Medicine Lake; 3.8 miles from the South Shores Trailhead at the head of Two Medicine Lake. Both routes gain 75 feet. This is a moderate hike. It can be made easier if you take Glacier Boat from Two Medicine. When I hiked this on Labor Day Weekend in 2004 there were mushrooms everywhere along the trail. In 2004 both of the Twin Falls were choked by fallen trees. The photo above is of the left fall of Twin Falls. It had been a wet summer so water flow was higher than normal for this time of year. 
From the boat dock at the end of Two Medicine Lake this is a very easy hike. First part of the trail is through the woods which then opens up into a meadow with a view of Pumpelly Pillar. I may be crazy but Dawson Pass, not Pumpelly Pillar, is on my list of hikes to attempt this summer. From what I can gather it will be brutal. Mary Rhinehart's 1916 book, Through Glacier Park shows this same meadow with a view of Pumpelly Pillar. The trees in the foreground were considerably smaller.  |
