Deer Lodge fills a broad valley floor between mountain ranges, and every waterfall on its page means climbing into one of them. Rock Creek Falls and North Fork Falls both run two miles with about 300 feet of climbing and welcome dogs. Double Falls adds a mile and more grade at 500 feet. Crow Creek Falls, over in the Elkhorns, takes the prize for effort at six and a half miles and 800 feet of gain. Five falls land within fifty miles, and the creeks carry their best water in June.
