You could spend an entire lifetime in Montana and not see all it has to offer. In fact, that’s a big part of its appeal. There are 120 named waterfalls in the Treasure State, with hundreds more than probably have yet to be discovered. If you have a full day to dedicate to chasing waterfalls, you can’t go wrong with the Crow Creek Falls Trail. This five-mile hike leads you to a little piece of paradise.
Crow Creek Falls is one of Montana’s most beautiful waterfalls – and that’s really saying something.
