Natural Bridge Falls

This afternoon, we drove to the Natural Bridge Falls off of the Main Boulder Road in Gallatin National Forest. We walked around both sides of the river, but did not do all the trails. Our route was about 1 mile round trip with 90 ft of loss/gain.

View upstream from the bridge over Boulder River

View downstream from the bridge over Boulder River, looking to where the river drops into a tunnel through the rocks.

After the tunnel the river heads through rock cliffs,
and disappeared from our view under a rocky ledge.

We returned across the bridge and visited a few viewpoints on the other side of the river. Here looking down where the river drops into the tunnel.
