Baring Falls LbNA #24980 (ARCHIVED)

Baring Falls was named for one of the Baring brothers. They were London bankers who were guided on a hunting trip into the area in the late 1880's by Joe Kipp and James Willard Scultz. The falls can be found by driving on the Going-to-the-Sun Road to St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park.

1. Find the Sunrift Gorge parking area.
