Beaver Chief Falls

Beaver Chief Falls is a dramatic high-country waterfall in Glacier National Park, Montana, descending from a hanging valley just beyond Lake Ellen Wilson’s outflow toward Lincoln Lake in a long series of braided cascades. With a total drop of nearly 1,300 feet and a tallest single plunge of 517 feet, it ranks among the park’s more striking falls. Its significance lies not only in its scale and setting but also in its remoteness: the falls are somewhat inaccessible and are usually reached only by a hike of nearly 20 miles round trip, which helps preserve them as a relatively secluded sight.
