Glacier National Park is one of the most notable natural areas in Montana. Visitors come from across the country (and the globe!) to see the towering peaks and gorgeous forests that can be enjoyed during a visit. Of course, there are also plenty of hiking trails. Ranging from challenging to simple, enjoying a hike in the park is one of the best ways to get to know the state. While there are plenty to choose from, one of our favorites is this waterfall hiking trail in Montana. It’s just under six miles long and offers everything from forest to river to various small waterfalls.

The Upper McDonald Creek Trail can be accessed throughout the year, but visitors say it’s best from April through October. Be sure you have all the right gear before heading out, regardless of the weather. Conditions can change quickly in the great outdoors. And we know everything is better with a furry friend but you’ll need to leave the dogs at home for this journey.
