If you live in Montana and you’re not a hiker, you’re really missing out. And you don’t have to scale mountains or go great distances to enjoy some of our most amazing trails. In fact, sometimes it’s as simple as taking a scenic nature walk to a stunning waterfall.

The Sweathouse Falls Trail is located in Ravalli County near the small town of Victor.

To reach the trail, you'll turn onto Bear Creek Road off US-93 and take an eventual left onto Sweathouse Creek Road, which will take you to the trailhead.
The trail is five miles long (out and back), but don't let that keep you away.

Eventually, you'll come to the beautiful Sweathouse Falls.
