Going-to-the-Sun Road East
Glacier National Park
Fall colors, and late flowers vie for the hiker's attention along the Virginia Falls Trail. The trail climbs a couple hundred feet in the 7/10ths of a mile from Saint Mary to Virginia Falls. I continued up the trail a bit to get a look at Virginia Creek above the falls. It tumbles over a red rock bed, above, and cascades down several layers of rock slabs before reaching the vertical pitch of the falls, left.
