When we were there I liked being as Alecto closely explore the creek area. The vista is outstanding!

McDonald Creek is a very pretty creek running through Glacier National Park. It flows over Sacred Cascade and McDonald Falls. The smooth rock formations which flows over are magical and soothing. The mountain views peeking over the golden tamaracks in October are glorious. Deer are roaming in the area as well.
