Sunrift Gorge
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
The rocks near the gorge edge are often wet from spray and can be slick — keep children close and stay behind any barriers, as the drop into the gorge is steep and unforgiving.
The pullout sits on a busy stretch of Going-to-the-Sun Road with limited visibility — watch for traffic carefully when entering and exiting your vehicle.
Trail Details
Pro Tips
The pullout fills up fast in summer — hit it early morning or late afternoon when most visitors are at Logan Pass or the larger trailheads along the Sun Road.
This pairs perfectly with the nearby Sun Point Nature Trail and Baring Falls walk — you can knock out all three in under an hour for a greatest-hits tour of this stretch of the Sun Road.
Shoot photos from the bridge above first for the top-down gorge perspective, then walk down the trail for the eye-level view — the two angles tell completely different stories of the same feature.
