Siksika Falls
About
Siksika Falls is a waterfall in Glacier National Park in Montana, about 15 miles from the town of St. Mary. It sits at roughly 5,184 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 75°F with lows near 46°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in St. Mary. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the falls, so temperatures at the falls run a little cooler. Several trails start close by. Jackson Glacier Trail and Gunsight Pass Trail are each about a mile away, and Florence Falls Trail is about 2.3 miles off. Paddlers can head to the Saint Mary River, about 2.6 miles away.
