Hyalite Canyon carries most of Bozeman's waterfall traffic. Palisade Falls drops eighty feet, and since the mile of trail leading up to it is paved, plenty of people knock it out after work. Grotto Falls sits higher in the same drainage, gentle going, 2.4 miles there and back. Twin Falls needs 3.6. Nineteen waterfalls land within the radius and most of them belong to Hyalite. Main trails allow dogs.
