Spectacular Waterfall Just Miles From Great Falls
Great Falls Is Home To Many Beautiful Views
Great Falls is lucky to be in such close proximity to many beautiful views. We have so many falls that are right here in our backyard sometimes we forget to look at other places.
In the Little Belt Mountains there is a waterfall that is a short hike up to see. From Great Falls the waterfall at Memorial Falls is only about an hour drive during clear weather.

Memorial Falls is located just south of Neihart Montana and consists of two falls, one upper and one lower. It makes for a quick day trip or stop along the way to another destination like White Sulphur Springs.
The trailhead is right off of Highway 89 and can be easy to miss if you aren't paying close attention but once you find the parking lot then the trail is easy to find.
