We’re lucky to have an abundance of beautiful waterfalls here in Montana, including some that are accessible by hike. And while some of our waterfalls come at the end of some tough treks, the Grotto Falls Trail is both easy and family-friendly.
To find the Grotto Falls trail, which is located near Bozeman, head to the end of Hyalite Creek Road.
