Weeping Wall

Glacier National Park


Located 2000ft below the iconic Garden Wall, the glistening Weeping Wall creates a seasonal waterfall that was formed when Going-to-the-Sun Rd construction workers drilled their way across a network of mountain springs. The water has subsequently been diverted over the lip of a 9m (30ft) artificial cliff, and frequently gives unwary cars and motorbikes a good soaking.
