The Trail Experience

The hike to Morrell Falls is relatively moderate, making it accessible for most hikers while still offering the thrill of wilderness exploration. The trail winds through dense forests, crosses small streams, and opens up to views of the surrounding mountains before arriving at the roaring falls.

When we finally reached the waterfall, the cool mist and the sound of rushing water were pure magic. Simba loved splashing around at the base, and I couldn’t resist capturing the moment in photos and videos.

Why Visit Morrell Falls?

This trail has a little bit of everything:

Scenic variety: From forests and wildflowers to creeks and mountain views.
Natural payoff: The waterfall is absolutely worth the hike.
Accessibility: A great choice for families, casual hikers, and seasoned adventurers.
Dog-friendly: A wonderful spot to bring your four-legged travel buddy.

If you’re visiting Seeley Lake, Big Sky, or Missoula, this hike is an excellent addition to your Montana itinerary.
