Feather Woman Falls is a waterfall in Flathead 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.
Feather Woman Falls sits in Flathead County, Montana. The falls are inside Glacier National Park, a US National Park. The base sits at roughly 6,862 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 18 minutes from West Glacier. A trail — Sperry Glacier Trail — runs within 170 meters of the marked location. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely. This is one of the more frequently visited falls in the state by our popularity model. Source records come from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Dogs are not allowed on the access trail or at the falls. The approach is short and gentle enough for young kids.
Feather Woman Falls is a waterfall located in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. The falls emerge from the base of a terminal moraine and drop 350 feet (110 m) towards the valley below. Altogether there are at least four waterfalls in this series, each originating from a permanent snowfield where a glacier once laid. The waterfall can be reached after a short hike from the Sperry Chalet via the Sperry Trail.
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.
