Forty falls land within fifty miles of Olney, mostly because Glacier National Park slips inside the circle. McDonald Falls in the park is a 0.6-mile walk, and Sacred Dancing Cascade shows from the road. Feather Woman Falls demands 7.6 miles and 1,600 feet of climbing. Beaver Chief runs 20 miles round trip, real backcountry. Closer to home, Martin and Tenmile each take about two miles. That is a lot of water for a town of 132 people.
