Sun Point

Walk out to Sun Point for a view of St. Mary Lake [1] and the surrounding mountains. For visitors who aren’t up to a long backcountry hike, Sun Point is a good place to stretch your legs without exhausting yourself and get a dramatic view of the scenery.

This was the site of the most elaborate of the Glacier’s chalets; it fell into disuse and was dismantled in the late 1940s once Going-to-the-Sun Road [2] became the focus of trips to the park.

From Sun Point the trail skirts the lakeshore for less than a mile to Baring Falls.
