We parked in this lot (restrooms & water there), & began what turned out to be my FAVORITE hike of our entire 8-day visit to Glacier! We stayed on the trail past Baring Falls to St. Mary Falls; ate a snack at the latter, then headed back to our cars as the sun was setting. I highly recommend this hike in the late afternoon like that, as the Alpenglow on Red Eagle & the other surrounding mountains was just spectacular! At the end of it, you can look back to the West and enjoy the Sunset over the Mountains! Originally, we'd hoped to hike all the way to Virginia Falls, but since started out late, we were better off getting back to our cars just as it was getting dark. We could still SEE Virginia Falls from across the lake on the trail! We all paused for a good laugh when someone said, "YES!! We DID get to see all 3 waterfalls on this hike!" We also saw 3 moose and one deer. The moose were bathing in the marshes at the SW end of Lake St. Mary, and the doe suddenly appeared from "nowhere" RIGHT ON THE VERY TRAIL we were on! (Not sure who was more startled by this, us or her!) This is a very EASY trail -even to St. Mary Falls & back. We're all mid-lifers (mostly 60's), & we could carry on ongoing conversations the entire trail while keeping to a good clip. The trail follows the lake, with wonderful views, and in mid-September, the underbrush & some of the trees were just starting to turn warm shades of oranges & yellows, so we loved how "colorful" this hike was - esp. at sunset!

We chose this trail as our first hike in Two Medicine. The trail starts out in a bit of scrub, trees, and then begins its ascent towards scenic point. The ascent was tough, in particular for those of us who live at sea level--but worth it. The views at the top were incredible, but we had to scramble down quickly due to rain.

While this surly serves a great rest stop with beautiful views, the historical importance should not be overlooked. In addition to marking the Continental Divide and the Marias Pass' elevation of 5213' (1589 m), it pays homage to John E. Stevens the civil engineer for Great Northern Railroad. The railroad opened rail service to the west coast and there is a large statue of Stevens at the base of the obelisk. There are two other plaques, one for William Morrison who had squatter rights to 100 acres at the summit. The second is dedicated to President Theodore Roosevelt who created the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Across from the obelisk, on the opposite side of the parking lot, there are two large displays with maps and more history about the area and the local Native American tribes. Worth a few minutes if you have the time.
