Waterfall Hikes in Montana (MT)
to explore
Montana's waterfalls are carved out of the high Rockies and Continental Divide, with glacial cirques and alpine valleys in Glacier National Park and surrounding ranges giving way to steep river gorges, broad river valleys, and occasional coulee drops on the eastern foothills. Hikes are predominantly moderate backcountry routes and canyon scrambles with multi‑mile approaches, alongside a limited number of short family-friendly paths and very few drive‑up sites, making the state notable for high‑elevation, snowmelt- and glacier-fed cascades set in vast, remote alpine and canyon landscapes.
