Palisade Falls, Bozeman, MT

A story from one of our customers…..

My fiancé and I arrived in Bozeman on a beautiful July day and our tour guide, Ian, took us straight away to one of the most beautiful places… A waterfall, (Palisade Falls), in the mountains that was breathtaking. It made such a lasting effect on both my fiancé and I that we wanted to say our wedding vows next to it. The whole area seemed peaceful but at the same time, full of hope and wonder. I may not remember the name like I should but the experience of sharing that gorgeous piece of nature will stick with me forever.

Palisades Falls National Recreation trail is a short .5 mile asphalt-coated surface to a beautiful 80 foot waterfall. Walking through towering Engelmann Spruce and Red Fir as you switchback up to the base of the volcanic cliffs. Palisades Falls is the result of prehistoric lava flow, complete with massive hexagonal basalt columns.

From Bozeman drive south on 19th Street 5 miles to Hyalite Canyon Road. Go south on Hyalite Canyon road 20 miles to Forest Road – Go west one mile to Palisades Falls Picnic Area and trailhead.
