Very beautiful sight as all of Glacier National Park is. Some of the hiking is more difficult than others

It is an easy hike to a beautiful water fall. The hike itself takes you through beautiful scenery and past little ponds made by beavers. The wild flowers are spectacular. Don't miss it.

This is a great family hike, with meadows and ponds (might see a Moose with calves if you are lucky), streams and waterfalls, and at the peak a great view of Two Med Lake. The whole hike, with time for lunch and playing around the waterfalls, was about 2-2.5 hours. The switchback to the top has a moderate elevation change (about 700' over the last 20 minutes), otherwise its an easy hike.Take time to play around the waterfalls and look for wildlife in the meadows.

A wonderful, lovely hike. Pretty steeply uphill at first, then levels out the rest of the way. Moose like to hang out around the 3 ponds this also have beaver dams (though we were too late in the day to see any). As you go through the meadow, look for the lone tree on the left with bear and mountain lion scratch marks. The falls are beautiful and fun to climb up. The extra bit of trail after the falls wasn't really worth it to us.

Easy trail for our 1st day. We hiked to higher falls which got us away from most of the folks. We also went part way to Two Medicine Lake, but turned around due to injury. This trail was very flat with great vistas!

Not a strenuous hike. Looks like prime bear habitat, so be cautious! Goes through a really beautiful meadow. The falls are nice. Not huge, but refreshing. We went on to Aster Park View. The hike form the falls to there is quite strenuous, but doesn't last forever. It's a spectacular view from the top! Definitely a good one to do if you're in Two Medicine. Parking can get hectic at the camp store near the trail head, but as usual, get there early.

A quick and easy hike will get you to Aster Falls. Certainly not the most scenic of falls in the park, but it's an easy walk to get there.

Decided to hike Aster Falls after a late start from camp. Well maintained trail with decent though not spectacular views.

The length is perfect, the falls are beautiful. Bring bug spray, there are lots of bugs buzzing around.

We hiked on a cold, rainy day. Area had lots of flooding the days before we arrived but trail was in great shape. Very easy hike up to the waterfall and very pretty. Due to the rain we probably saw water as fast moving as it gets here. Trail got steeper past falls but still not too strenuous. Once you get to Aster Overlook it was a fabulous view looking down into Two Medicine Lake. We took our time and was back to our car in about 2 hours. Very nice hike, it's a workout but not too hard but payoff is excellent.

Got the Glacier Inc shuttle bus into East Medicine and walked to Aster Falls in about an hour. Great introduction to Glacier Park.

Great trail, esp. if you take side trail to Paradise Pt. & continue past the falls up to the overlook.

This was the hike we took the day after doing the Scenic View hike. It has a gradual elevation gain at first and then very level through forest and meadows. We did our hike in the fall, but I am sure in the spring the meadows are full of flowers. This is a good hike for little ones, level and wide trails in the meadows.

We came to Glacier to do day hikes and wanted to try anything in Two Medicine, one of our favorite parts of Glacier National Park. The hike to the falls is wonderful, an easy trail through woods, meadows, and ponds. The falls are lovely. However, past the falls the trail begins to rise steeply and is quite exhausting if you're not in shape. So if you tackle this section be prepared for a tough grunt uphill. That said, the view of Two Medicine Lake and the surrounding mountains at Aster Park is breathtaking (if you have any breath left).
