The Frozen Waterfall At Palisade Falls In Montana Is A Must-See This Winter
We love waterfalls in every season, but once a year, they freeze into icy sculptures. A frozen waterfall like this is something everyone should see once! If you can make the hike when it’s cold enough, it’s worth every step. Though the gate to the trailhead is closed in the winter, adding a bit of extra hike is never a problem. Beauty awaits!
Welcome to today's snowy adventure, a hike out to the frozen Palisade Falls at the Hyalite Recreation Area.
When you get here, don't be surprised if you come across some ice climbers scaling the waterfall. Once you see a person on the falls, you'll understand just how large it really is.
The mile-long hike doesn't take that long to traverse, but if it's slick, you might need a good pair of Yaktrax or cross-country skis to get going on the snow-covered trail.
The best part of this hike is the all-season beauty. What is beautiful and cooling water in the warmer months is also a stunning frozen sculpture in the winter.
If you’d like to check out the one-mile trail to the falls, visit the Palisade Falls page on AllTrails for a map, forecast, and more. As a heads up, during the worst weather conditions, the trail is subject to closure. It freezes earlier than you might expect, and during true winter weather, it isn’t always safe to traverse. Be prepared!
