A 30 minute drive south of Big Timber brings you to Natural Bridge Falls . The paved paths start at the parking lot and meander along the Boulder River. There are several viewing points with signs telling about the area, falls and wildlife. In the spring, there are actually three separate falls.

A well-maintained dirt trail leads to a scenic point directly across from the falls. For a day hike, continue on the Green Mountain Trail. The terrain will change from grassland to heavy timber. Look for Limber Pine, Lodge Pole Pine, Douglas Fir and wildflowers galore. Deer, bear, elk, and small animals may be seen along the way.
