Monument Falls is a waterfall located in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. It descends from meltwater off Sperry Glacier en route to Avalanche Lake. Numerous other waterfalls are located in the immediate area, but they remain unnamed. [2] [3]
Nevada Fall is a 594-foot (181 m) high waterfall on the Merced River in Yosemite National Park, California. It is located below the granite dome, Liberty Cap, at the west end of Little Yosemite Valley. The waterfall is widely recognized by its "bent" shape, in which the water free-falls for roughly the first third of its length to a steep slick-rock slope. This mid-fall impact of the water on the cliff face creates a turbulent, whitewater appearance in the fall and produces a great deal of mist which covers a wide radius, which led to its current name.
Bird Woman Falls is a 560 feet (170 m) waterfall located immediately west of the continental divide in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States. The falls are readily visible from a distance of two miles (3.2 km) along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which bisects the park east to west. The falls are fed by snowfields and a remnant glacier located on the north and west flanks of Mount Oberlin. The falls flow is greatest in late spring and early summer and has been known to almost cease flowing in the autumn.
Ahern Glacier is in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. The glacier was named after George Patrick Ahern. Ahern Glacier is situated on a ridge between Ipasha Peak to the north and Ahern Peak to the south at an elevation between 8,800 feet (2,700 m) and 8,000 feet (2,400 m) above sea level, immediately east of the Continental Divide. Meltwater from the glacier feeds Ahern Glacier Falls, a waterfall which descends an estimated 1,680 feet (510 m) in one sheer drop to a talus slope below en route to Helen Lake. Between 1966 and 2005, Ahern Glacier lost 13 percent of its surface area.
Ipasha Lake is located in Glacier National Park, in the U. S. state of Montana. Ipasha Lake is west of Ipasha Peak which rises more than 4,000 feet (1,200 m) above the lake. Melt water from the Ipasha Glacier descends 580 feet (180 m) over Ipasha Falls en route to Ipasha Lake.
Sue Lake is located in Glacier National Park, in the U. S. state of Montana. Sue Lake is situated immediately northwest of Mount Kipp. Immediately after flowing out of Sue Lake, the Mokowanis River descends 560 feet (170 m) over Raven Quiver Falls.
Waterfalls Canyon is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming. The canyon was formed by glaciers which retreated at the end of the last glacial maximum approximately 15,000 years ago, leaving behind a U-shaped valley. Waterfalls Canyon is south of Ranger Peak and north of Eagles Rest Peak and the entrance to the canyon is along the western shore of Jackson Lake, directly across the lake from the Colter Bay Village. There are several cascades in the canyon, including Wilderness Falls and Columbine Cascade, which descend from an unnamed lake below Ranger Peak.
Eldorado Glacier is on the south slopes of Eldorado Peak, North Cascades National Park, in the U.S. state of Washington. The glacier is approximately .85 mi (1.37 km) in length, 1.2 mi (1.9 km) in width at its terminus and descends from 8,400 to 7,000 ft. Eldorado Glacier is connected to Inspiration Glacier on its upper slopes. Glacial melt waters from Eldorado Glacier flow south over Roush Creek Falls, which at 2,000 ft (610 m), is one of the tallest waterfalls in Washington.
Crystal Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, on the south slopes of Mount Shuksan. Descending 1.25 mi (2.01 km) from just east of the summit of Mount Shuksan, near its origination point, Crystal Glacier is connected to the larger Sulphide Glacier to the west. Crystal Glacier descends from 8,200 to 5,800 ft, and is also connected to East Nooksack Glacier as well as Hanging Glacier near it uppermost margins. Both Crystal and Sulphide Glaciers have a series of 300-to-1,000-foot high cascades which are collectively referred to as Sulphide Basin Falls. Below these cascades lies Sulphide Lake, which empties over Sulphide Creek Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in North America with a nearly 2,200 ft (670 m) drop.
Sulphide Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, on the south slopes of Mount Shuksan. Descending 1.85 mi (2.98 km) from the summit tower of Mount Shuksan, it is connected to Crystal Glacier to the east. Sulphide Glacier descends from 8,600 to 5,600 ft. Sulphide Glacier is along the route taken when Mount Shuksan was first climbed in 1906. Both Sulphide and Crystal Glaciers have a series of 300-to-1,000-foot high cascades which are collectively referred to as Sulphide Basin Falls. Below these cascades lies Sulphide Lake, which empties over Sulphide Creek Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in North America with a nearly 2,200 ft (670 m) drop.
Two Medicine Falls is a waterfall located on the Two Medicine River in the southeastern portion of Glacier National Park, Montana, US.
Morning Eagle Falls is a waterfall located on Cataract Creek in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. The waterfall is on the southeast slopes of Mount Gould in the Many Glacier region of the park.
Feather Plume Falls is an ephemeral waterfall located above Cataract Creek in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. Feather Plume Falls have several major drops in its 1,500 feet (460 m) drop from Grinnell Glacier with the highest estimated at 1,080 ft (330 m). The falls are on the northeast slopes of Mount Gould in the Many Glacier region of the park.
Grinnell Falls is a waterfall in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. Grinnell Falls have several major drops in its 960 feet (290 m) descent from Grinnell Glacier with the highest estimated at 280 ft (85 m). The falls are in the Many Glacier region of the park, between Mount Grinnell and Angel Wing.
Piegan Falls is a waterfall in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. Piegan Falls have several major drops in its 2,400-foot (730 m) descent from the slopes of Piegan Mountain and Piegan Glacier. The falls are seen from the trails above Siyeh Bend en route to Piegan Pass.
Ptarmigan Falls is a waterfall located in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. Ptarmigan Falls has a series of cascades and at least one drop of over 30 feet (9.1 m) as it descends downstream along Ptarmigan Creek. The falls can only be seen by hiking west on the Ptarmigan Trail from Swiftcurrent Auto Camp Historic District in the Many Glacier region of the park.
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.
Feather Woman Falls is a waterfall located in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. The falls emerge from the base of a terminal moraine and drop 350 feet (110 m) towards the valley below. Altogether there are at least four waterfalls in this series, each originating from a permanent snowfield where a glacier once laid. The waterfall can be reached after a short hike from the Sperry Chalet via the Sperry Trail.
Akaiyan Falls is an ephemeral waterfall located in Glacier National Park, Montana in the United States. Akaiyan Falls can be accessed via the Sperry Trail and has a series of drops, the tallest of which is 280 feet (85 m).
Beaver Chief Falls is a waterfall located in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. The falls emerge at the top of a hanging valley just beyond the outflow for Lake Ellen Wilson and descend in a series of braided drops a distance of nearly 1,300 feet (400 m), the tallest of which is recorded as being a straight drop of 517 ft (158 m). Below the hanging valley lies Lincoln Lake, where the cascades end. Somewhat inaccessible, the falls require a nearly 20-mile (32 km) round-trip hike to visit.
Twin Falls are a pair of waterfalls located in Glacier National Park, Montana, US. The falls descend from outlet streams from the surrounding peaks and No Name Lake and split into two waterfalls as they cascade 80 feet (24 m) into Two Medicine Valley. The falls can be reached by a hike of less than a mile west of Two Medicine Lake.
