Montana has some fantastic waterfall hikes — but sadly, most of them aren’t accessible all year. Some of our most popular falls are found inside Glacier National Park, which isn’t an easy trek for most Montanans (and often not a great idea in the dead of winter for safety’s sake). That’s why we can appreciate a nice, short waterfall hike we can access all year long – like the Ousel Falls Trail. You can easily spend a day relaxing by the falls here.
Big Sky is known for its abundant outdoor recreation, and this is definitely one of its most popular attractions.
While the trail is open all year, you might require some special equipment if you'd like to hike it in the snow.

This is the kind of place where the community is encouraged to come and stay awhile.
Just make sure to pick up your trash, keep your distance, and be courteous to your fellow Montanans. Ousel Falls is a treasure we all deserve to enjoy.
Do you have any waterfall hikes planned for this year?
