Cliff Creek

Cliff Creek Trail offers a peaceful escape into the Gallatin Range, winding through lodgepole forests, wildflower-filled meadows, and along a tumbling creek. This out-and-back hike delivers big views with a gentle climb, making it a great pick for a day hike or beginner backpacking trip. Wild Montana’s Madison-Gallatin Chapter has helped maintain this trail since 2018, ensuring continued public access to the Gallatin Crest.
