Hiking season may be winding down in Montana, but it won’t be long before we’re back on the trails again. Blodgett Canyon, which is named for an area settler named Joseph Blodgett, is considered to be the most picturesque canyon in the Bitterroot National Forest. And it happens to have a beautiful trail that takes you straight to a waterfall.
The trail itself is considered easy and is good for all skill levels.
Turn right on Ricketts Road, then take a left on Blodgett Camp Road. After about a mile and a half, you’ll find the Blodgett Creek Campground and Trailhead. There are two parking lots, one of which is the Blodgett Creek Campground lot.
