This was a “bonus” hike on the way out of the park. Since we had a little flexibility in our drive, and since we hadn’t spent much time in the two medicine area, we decided to explore a couple of short hikes.
This one starts at Two Medicine Lake behind the boat house. The trail immediately enters the forest, and after a very short climb, comes to a junction that leads out to "Paradise Point" on the lake. With a name like that, I decided I would take a jog out there, if time permitted on my return.
But my goal was to get to Aster Falls, so I moved on. A short time later, the forest gives way to a more open meadow that skirts along some riparian ponds to the right of the path that form nice reflection pools for the trees and distant mountains beyond.
Following the meadow, the trail resumes its path through the forest, and soon enough, I could hear the falls and took the short side trail that leads to the base of the falls.
The falls are very nice, though not a spectacular as others in the park. Worth a visit though.
On the way back, I went out to Paradise Point. Nice view of the lakeshore, but nothing more exciting that what you can see from the shore at the trailhead, IMO. |
