McLeod, Montana
McLeod
was founded as a trading post on the Boulder River. Nestled in the
beautiful Boulder Valley, McLeod offers opportunities for fishing in
pristine mountain streams, rustic resort getaways, camping, hiking,
hunting, horseback riding and much more. Near some spectacular natural and
man-made wonder, McLeod is also a great home base for sightseers and
photographers.
Near Natural Bridge Falls there are 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. Later in the year the river flows underground
to reveal the limestone bedrock.
For a day hike or picnic excursion, continue on to 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.
Up the road from the Natural Bridge is the Lion's Head. It is a rock
outcropping that can be seen on the way to Box Canyon. Indian Caves with
pictographs are an easy hike from the Main Boulder Ranger Station. About an
hour hike beyond Box Canyon is the abandoned mining town of Independence.
The remains of cabins the gold seekers built can be seen nestled in a
breathtaking mountain valley.
