Twin Falls are two 80-foot cascades in Glacier National Park’s Two Medicine Valley, fed by streams from No Name Lake. Access the falls via a boat shuttle across Two Medicine Lake, then a 2.2–2.3 mile round-trip hike to base.
Late June through mid-September; aim for morning or late afternoon light for best photography.

Uncommon pair of waterfalls located next to each other, worth the visit if you like hiking. You can come either along the south or the north shore of the lake, or - for cheaters ;-) - pay the boat to take you across the lake to the nearby beach. We added Twin Falls to a loop around the lake, for a total of about nine miles.

If you take boat from twin medicine lake, it is short hike. Falls isn’t splendid however both falls viewing is great experience.If you go upto these falls,keep going for upper medicine lake area.You must have bears spray and stay in the group. Folks who were returning from long hike have mentioned grizzle bears spotting near some trails.

Nice falls with decent water flow in June 2018. Not the tallest, but still scenic and worth the detour is hiking around the lake.
