Where the Waterfalls Are

Livingston sits in or near the Southwest Montana: Gallatin, Absaroka and Beartooth area of Montana. The ranges around Bozeman and the Yellowstone country of southern Montana form the state's second major cluster. South of Bozeman, Hyalite Canyon holds several falls, including Grotto Falls on an easy forest trail and Palisade Falls, which pours over a wall of columnar basalt. Champagne Falls and Silken Skein Falls lie in the same drainage. Ousel Falls, near Big Sky, is reached by a popular trail from the town. Farther east, Park and Carbon counties include the Absaroka and Beartooth mountains around Livingston and Red Lodge, where high granite plateaus shed meltwater into steep canyons with falls that are often reached only by longer hikes.
