Located in the heart of Big Sky, the Ousel Falls Park Trail is just a short stroll to a cascading waterfall. The smooth, broad path descends gently to the falls, and viewpoints from below and above let you take in the cascades from multiple angles.
The trail is popular year-round, but in the winter the cascade freezes into icy pillars, turning the narrow canyon into a winter wonderland. Listen closely, and you might hear the Falls’ namesake bird, the water ouzel.
