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!
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
While this is a gorgeous park year-round, there is something special that happens as soon as cool air hits the area.
Within a short time, the waterfall turns into an icy sculpture that changes every year to reflect the water flow when it started.
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.
Don't forget your camera!
Happy hiking!
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!
