Sacred Dancing Cascade - Going-to-the-Sun Road - Glacier National Park

We continued west on the newly opened stretch of the Going-to-the-Sun Road to the Sacred Dancing Cascade pullout located 11.1 miles from the four-way stop at Apgar to view the cascade. A sturdy horse bridge spans the creek here and provides great views of the cascade. The bridge is not handicap accessible as a 250-foot dirt and rock trail heads down to the bridge from the western end of the pullout. We visited the park in May 2021.
