Also known as Trick Falls, there are two separate water entries (upper and lower) of this scenic falls. The falls are a short nature trail hike (handicap accessible) over on the east side of Glacier Park, as you head for the Two Medicine area.

Running Eagle, aka Brown Weasel Woman, was a Blackfoot woman who rescued her father after his horse was shot by an enemy tribe. The name Running Eagle was bestowed upon her for her bravery, and she was invited to join a warrior society, and acted as a female war chief, riding with and fighting alongside men of her tribe. She was eventually clubbed to death by members of the neighboring Flathead tribe in 1850 when she was caught trying to steal their horses during a battle.
