A pair of upper and lower falls in the Little Belt Mountains just south of Neihart, Montana, reached by a short creekside trail. It is a popular, family-friendly stop in the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest.
Memorial Falls sits on Memorial Falls Creek (tributary of Belt Creek). You'll find it in Cascade, Montana. It is protected within U.S. Forest Service (Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.4 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Neihart, the closest town.
When to go: Early summer to mid-autumn. Like most waterfalls, Memorial Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
