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
- 1
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.
- 2
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.
