Hiking Palisade Falls Trail in Montana 🌲💦

Simba 🐾 and I hiked the Palisade Falls Trail in Custer Gallatin National Forest near Livingston, Montana—a short, easy trail that leads to one of the most stunning waterfalls in the region. This paved trail makes it accessible for families, casual hikers, and anyone looking for a quick but unforgettable outdoor adventure.

Why Visit Palisade Falls

What makes Palisade Falls so special is the mix of accessibility and wow-factor. In less than a mile, you can walk along a shaded, paved path and be rewarded with the sight of water plunging dramatically over towering basalt cliffs.

It’s a place that feels like a hidden gem, yet it’s easy to reach—making it ideal for families with kids, travelers short on time, or anyone who wants to experience the natural beauty of Montana without a strenuous hike.

Dog-Friendly Fun 🐾

Simba loved this trail! With its short distance, cool shaded areas, and rewarding waterfall views, it’s a perfect outing for dogs. Just remember to keep pups leashed and bring water for them too.
