Not only is it invigorating when you get to the end of the trail, but it is very relaxing once you reach the end too. If you are looking for more of a hiking adventure, then hiking is a great option. It is one of the best places for camping in Banff, with waterfalls close by, and it is right next to one of the area’s most popular hiking trails, called Lake Louise. Here you can find hiking areas and also cabins for your family or overnight guests. One of the better-known trekking trails in Banff is called Sunshine Valley Campgrounds. If you love hiking in the woods, and beautiful lakes, then this is one of the best hiking trails in Banff, with waterfalls nearby. There are miles of trails through beautiful woods, which you cannot see from the road. You can see Bear River on a clear day, and you are right in the middle of it. The trailhead for Eagle’s Nest actually goes right down into the woods, so you don’t even have to hike through the trees. If you prefer hiking far from civilization, then Eagle’s Nest should be an excellent place for you to start. It is also relatively easy to reach but does not go near as far as Peeky Butte. Just a short way from Peeky Butte is another hiking trail with waterfalls called Eagle’s Nest. Once you get to the falls, their sight is so captivating you will want to hike back to get a picture of them. It is not far from the Cabin Trail (heading towards Mount Mitchell), and is very easy to reach. The trailhead begins at the campground across the creek.Peeky Butte Hiking TrailĪnother hiking trail with waterfalls near me is called Peeky Butte. Enjoy the beautiful drive until you reach the Spanish Creek Campground. To get there take Hwy 191 towards Big Sky and right after you enter the canyon take a right onto Spanish Creek Road. There are a few different places you can access the falls and depending on the time of year you can get down to the base of it to cool off in the nice mist. Around the 3 mile mark you reach a fork, take a right and head a little over a mile more to the falls. The trail takes you through meadows, past streams and gives some of the best mountain views as a backdrop. The drive to the trailhead is pretty awesome in itself and there's a very likely chance you will see buffalo and maybe even a moose! The hike to the falls is around 4 miles, but there is not a big elevation gain so is doable for all levels. The Spanish Peaks Trail is on Ted Turner's property in the Gallatin Canyon and is the starting point for a few different trails, one being to Pioneer Falls. The trailhead is just past the campground. To get there take Hwy 89 south to the turnoff for the Pine Creek Campground. As always, the views from the lake and throughout the hike make up for it! It's only four more miles to the lake, but those miles climb 3,000 feet with lots of switchbacks and can be tough if you're not prepared for it. Just make sure you are prepared for a tough climb. This is another hike where you can end at the waterfall or continue on to Pine Creek Lake. As we get further into the dry part of summer the amount of water coming down starts to decline. Early in the season this waterfall is pretty spectacular crashing down and throwing off a cool mist. You'll go through a forested area, passing over streams and then a short steep climb to the falls. Pine Creek Falls is an easy one-mile hike on a well-maintained trail. The drive from Bozeman over is a quick one and you can enjoy mountain views the whole way. We'll head to the amazing Paradise Valley for the next couple of hikes. To get to the trailhead, take Hyalite Canyon past the reservoir and campgrounds until you hit the trailhead.
From here you'll find some of the best views in the valley. Once you are at the lake, take in the views, and if you are feeling extra ambitious go the last two miles to the peak. It's just over five miles to Hyalite Lake and in those miles, you will see eleven waterfalls (some run dry towards the end of summer!) Notable ones to keep an eye out for are Arch and Champagne Falls, so breathtaking. The other trail from this trailhead is Hyalite Creek Trail and it is a must-do for any waterfall lover. Grotto Falls is a picturesque waterfall with lush greenery on one side and easy to get down to the bottom so you can feel the spray from the water. Only 2.4 miles roundtrip and the trail is also stroller/wheelchair friendly. The trail to Grotto is great for a quick hike to a nice waterfall. Another very popular waterfall hike in Bozeman, but one of the best to see multiple waterfalls in a day.
