The Running Eagle Falls trail is just over half a mile long, and takes you to, you guessed it, Running Eagle Falls. The double waterfall is absolutely stunning, tumbling over 30 feet into a clear pool below. But what makes this hike even more amazing is that this is, in fact, the very same falls where Running Eagle underwent her life-changing vision quest. The trail also includes interpretive signs that tell you about the local plant life, and their traditional uses by the local tribes.
