The trailhead to the Fall Creek Falls starts at a small pullout off the side of the road. Follow the unmarked trail downhill, across a open meadow with the awesome view of Montana’s Eastern Range of the Rocky Mountains, through a patch of Douglas Fir, to a steep-walled canyon. By then sound of the falls is near, walking upstream along the steep cliff edge you will see this stupendous waterfall dropping off a rock ledge into beautiful turquoise pool. |

From Augusta drive southwest on Montana Secondary 435 for 14 miles to Dearborn Canyon Road. Turn west, looking at the magnificent "Eastern Front" of the Rocky Mountains, 7 miles to a public access road on a section of the Diamond Bar X ranch. Turn left on the road, at .1 of mile is a fork which you go straight and at .6 of a mile another fork which you stay right, a couple hundreds yards further to the end. The road is gated off, but there is two pull offs in which to park and walk to the falls. |

As part of the original Wilderness Act of 1964, the United States Congress designated the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. Now its complex of three wildernesses: Bob Marshall, Scapegoat, and Great Bear, and takes in over 1,5 million acres. The "Bob" is one of the most untouched, pristine, mountain ecosystems in the world.
The town of nearby Augusta was named after a daughter of local rancher J.D. Hogan.
