Hiking season may be winding down in Montana, but it won’t be long before we’re back on the trails again.

It’s relaxing and beautiful. And if you're up for walking about 30 minutes further, you'll find a second waterfall.
Depending on the time of year, you might see elk, mule deer or bighorn sheep.
