Hyalite Canyon and Palisade Falls

It's amazing how many canyons there are in the Bozeman area. Each one is shockingly different and equally as beautiful. In the fall, Hyalite Canyon becomes a quite area where you don't run into nearly as many people as you would in the summer. Only seven miles out of town, Hyalite and Palisade falls are two beautiful little treasures with lots of other hikes and stops along the way.

This is just a small glimpse of what the drive was like. With the fall colors changing and the river on the right it doesn't get more beautiful then this. 

All three of these photos were taken along side the road just on the way up to the hike, while my dog sat patiently....waiting for me to return.

So patient ;). Because it was later in the day, we decided to go up Palisade falls rather than Hyalite Canyon. Palisade falls is a short hike, only one mile up and easy to access. 

The Bozeman area got a little bit of snow over the last week, making a beautiful combination of colors. This is probably one of the only places that you can almost get three seasons at once. 

Because the weather changes so quickly, you never know what you are going to get when you go out to photograph. But from my experience there is always something around here to make you in awe of what nature can do. 

This is one of many waterfalls in the area. Although it is a beautiful sight now, I can only imagine how it looks in the spring when the snow starts melting into the canyon. I hope that you all enjoyed my post and get out there to enjoy the beautiful fall colors!
