Ipasha Falls
About
Ipasha Falls is a waterfall in Glacier National Park in Montana, about 16 miles from the town of Babb. It sits at roughly 6,370 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July and August highs reach about 74°F with lows in the mid-40s, based on averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits well below the falls, so temperatures at the falls run cooler. Several trails lie within a few miles. Sue Lake Observation Trail is about 2 miles away, Ahern Pass Overlook about 2.5 miles, and Mokowanis Lake Trail about 3 miles. Iceberg Lake Trail is a little farther, at about 3.6 miles.
