Appekunny Falls

The trailhead is located on Many Glacier Road a little more than three miles from the park entrance. There will be a large sign, Poia Lake Hiking Trail, on the north side of the road. The Appekunny Falls Trail is to the left of the large sign.

Appikunny Mountain from the parking lot.

Beginning in a meadow the trail travels through a variety of colorful wildflowers and berry bushes, including the Buffalo Berry that we hadn’t seen before. The buffalo berry is bright orange-red and only one-quarter inch in size, growing on a shrub that may reach 10 feet in height. The berries by themselves taste terrible but with a lot of sugar aren’t bad. Native Americans used them as a food source. Following the trail leads us into the forest where we begin the climb to the falls. The trail is rocky and care must be taken not to slip on the loose rocks. Getting closer to our destination, we climb over larger rocks to the base of the falls where we stand in awe of the view down the valley to Wynn Mountain and Cracker Flats. The falls are beautiful, flowing through a rocky gorge. An overlook is reached by climbing over more rock where we have a different view of this scenic area.

	Glacier National Park is located in the northwest corner of Montana, just north of Columbia Falls. The park encompasses more than one million acres and is home to grizzly bear, moose, elk, along with 63 varieties of wild mammals. While most of the roads in Glacier National Park are closed off during the winter, this provides miles and miles of tracks for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Visitors are seldom around in the dead of winter, so the muffled hush of the snow covered woods is especially enticing and serene. A ski or snowshoe trip along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which is one of the most scenic roads in North America, is a great option, according to park rangers. The road is closed to cars from September or October until snowmelt, usually in June. Several short hiking trails branch off from the road, which would be excellent for snowshoeing or skiing in the winter season. Once you have your gear, head up to Glacier National Park for an exciting adventure. Guided snowshoe trips are available, led by a park naturalist, and are highly recommended. If you are looking for an informative tour, snowshoeing is an easy way to explore the winter wonderland of this unique park. Snowshoeing will provide even the novice an effortless activity so your senses are more in tune with your environment and your guide's knowledge on the history, wildlife, geology, and biology of this precious ecosystem.
