Ipasha 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.
Ipasha Falls sits in Glacier County, Montana. The falls are inside Glacier National Park, a US National Park. The base sits at roughly 6,301 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 23 minutes from Babb. No mapped trail runs within 200 meters — expect bushwhacking or off-trail navigation to reach the lip. 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.
Ipasha Falls is a waterfall located in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. Ipasha Falls descends from Ipasha Glacier to Ipasha Lake and is recorded as having a drop of at least 800 feet (240 m). Located in a remote region north of Many Glacier, the falls can only been seen by a multiday hike on established trails to Mokowanis Lake and then from there along unmaintained trails to Ipasha Lake.
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.
