Weeping Wall Falls is a 50-foot segmented waterfall in Glacier National Park, Montana, where snowmelt seeps out of a rock cliff directly beside Going-to-the-Sun Road in Flathead County. The feature forms a series of streams that flow during the early driving season.
The falls
The wall is less a single waterfall than a series of drips and seeps where melting snow from Haystack Butte and the Garden Wall reaches the surface. Dozens of small rivulets streak the rock face, and the southernmost stream makes the main drop of about 50 feet, though older surveys listed 33 feet. At peak runoff the water splashes into the roadside gutter and onto passing cars.
Getting there
The wall is on Going-to-the-Sun Road on the climb to Logan Pass, and it is seen from the road itself; there is no trail. Vehicles longer than 21 feet or wider than 8 feet are not allowed between Avalanche Creek and Rising Sun. Glacier admission is $35 per vehicle for seven days ($25 from November to April), plus $100 per person for non-US residents aged 16 and older unless they hold an Annual or America the Beautiful Pass. In 2026 the park dropped vehicle reservations and introduced a ticketed shuttle and a three-hour parking limit at Logan Pass.
When to go
The upper road usually opens fully in early July and stays open until the third Monday of October. Flow is strongest while snow is melting on the slopes above, so the first weeks after opening are best. By August in most years the cliff is mostly dry, though some seepage continues.
On site
Westbound drivers pass right beside the spray, and some visitors open their car windows to let the cold snowmelt mist inside.
History and name
The wall is a product of the road. When engineers cut Going-to-the-Sun Road into the mountainside, they exposed rock carrying springs and snowmelt, which now spills down the cut.
Nearby
Haystack Falls is about 1.1 miles away, Morning Eagle Falls about 1.5 miles and Bird Woman Falls, seen across the valley from its own overlook on the same road, about 1.6 miles. Logan Pass and its visitor center are farther up the road.
