Where the Waterfalls Are

Eureka sits in or near the Northwest Montana and the Bitterroot area of Montana. Northwest Montana's waterfalls tend to be larger rivers dropping through rocky gorges in thick conifer forest. Kootenai Falls, between Libby and Troy, is a wide, powerful series of cascades on the Kootenai River, with a swinging footbridge across the river nearby. Yaak Falls sits along the Yaak River near the Canadian border, a short stop from the road. To the south, the Bitterroot Valley's Skalkaho Falls drops right beside the Skalkaho Highway, a mountain road east of Hamilton. Around Seeley Lake and Lincoln, the Swan and Blackfoot country holds smaller falls in glacier-scoured valleys within the national forests. Read the Montana waterfall guide.
