Redrock Falls, Glacier National Park
Date: June 30, 2011
Distance: ~2 mi (3.2 km)one way
After returning from my failed attempt in the rain to reach Grinnell Glacier I was looking for somewhere to go that looked a little drier in Glacier National Park. I decided to begin hiking up the trail from the trailed by the Many Glacier campground knowing that I probably wouldn't be able to get all the way to Swiftcurrent Pass because of the amount of snow still in the mountains.
Shortly after setting out on this trail I passed Fishercap Lake and continued on to Redrock Lake, which looked a bit nicer than Fishercap. At the upstream end of Redrock was Redrock Falls, a series of short but raging waterfalls. I continued hiking up past the falls for a little while, and the trees were fewer in number here than in the lower part of the trail, but before I reached Bullhead Lake or Windmaker Lake more rained began to move in. I didn't want to get completely soaked again so I turned around.
