Boulder Creek

The Boulder Creek Trail, at the far southern end of the Bitterroot Valley, is a great adventure to an impressive waterfall! The trail climbs gently through sun-dappled forest, while rock pinnacles tower above the creek. In spring, wildflowers carpet the side of the trail. When you reach the waterfall, take some time to scramble around the exposed granite slabs - the waterfall has carved a deep channel through the rock, and emerald green moss grows in patches all around. If you’re lucky and observant, you might even spot a second ephemeral waterfall on the other side of the creek! Photo by Mark Wetherington
