Description

Added by Eric Schuette

Explore a beautiful little waterfall and mossy canyon area. There is an easy 0.4 mile trail to the falls that follows the beautiful creek and you can continue exploring along the creek.

The hike to this waterfall is a very easy 0.4 mile trail that mostly follows the creek. Although the walk to the falls is easy, the drive is a long one, even coming from Libby. It is on quality roads but you are unlikely to see anyone else for much of it.

There is a sign at the trailhead indicating which way to start, from there follow the easy trail to the falls. The area is lush and has beautiful flowers and undergrowth the entire way. The falls themselves come in several drops and if you are feeling adventurous you can scramble to the top and view downstream. You can also keep hiking up the creek but the trail grows increasingly faint and it can be difficult to choose the best path at times.

Waterfall Coordinates: 48.7527912,-115.3718137

Leigh Lake Trail #132

Leigh Lake Trail #132 is a short, but difficult hike. With the elevation gain greater than 1300 feet, you'll get quite the workout -- keep this in mind if thinking about brining small kids or pets. In fact, there are sections where you may be climbing up on all fours. Along the route, you'll pass beautiful waterfalls before arriving at picturesque Leigh Lake. As a heads up, there can be some s...

Camp Out at the Hornet Lookout

Reservations for Hornet Lookout are obtained via Recreation.gov, and can be made up to six months in advance. Consider a four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle with some clearance if available, as the forest service roads aren't always well maintained. Although the hike is short, it is all switchbacks up to the top and you need to carry enough water to last for your entire stay (including cook...
