Apikuni Falls is a waterfall in Glacier County, Montana. Height has not been officially recorded. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Apikuni Falls sits in Glacier County, Montana. The falls are inside Glacier National Park, a US National Park. The base sits at roughly 5,606 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 14 minutes from Babb. OpenStreetMap shows a trail within 50 meters of the marked location, though the name isn't recorded. It draws modest visitor attention — busier weekends, quiet weekdays. Source records come from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
