Running Eagle Falls is located in the Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park in Montana. The photos shown below were taken in June 2018 at a time when the creek was running near flood stage.
Running Eagle was a Blackfoot woman warrior. According to the information sign:
“Running Eagle was a tall and beautiful woman, with long black braids, and walking a straight religious path with grace, pride, and honor. Near her 30th year, Running Eagle went on her last raid across the Continental Divide, where she was killed by the Flathead in their territory.”
Her body was brought back to Two Medicine and placed in a tree on the mountain overlooking the falls.
