BEST WATERFALL - OUZEL FALLS

2.7 miles from the Wild Basin Trailhead is Ouzel Falls.  If you stay on the trail, you probably won't be all that impressed.  However, just a short scramble off trail reveals a much more impressive series of views.  In fact, you can get close enough to feel the spray.  Be sure to take the time to see Ouzel Falls from several different vantage points.

If you're looking for waterfalls a little closer to the road, Alberta Falls is only a short hike from the Glacier Gorge Trailhead. Another alternative is Chasm Falls on Old Fall River Road. Both are quite impressive.
