Devil's Glen Hike and Cliff-Jumping

The Devil's Glen trail, or Dearborn Trail #206, is a great, easy hike through some of the prettiest parts of the Rocky Mountain Front. The trailhead is adjacent to Montana Wilderness School of the Bible and is past the Falls Creek Waterfall trail parking lot. The Dearborn Trailhead parking lot has a pit toilet near the head of the trail. The road getting out to the trailhead can be rough. The Dearborn is a cold river, so this hike is best done in July or August if you intend to swim. The swimming holes feature several different cliff heights for jumping into the water. You'll know you've reached the glen when the trail opens up to a flatter, more open plain with a single tree in the middle near a fireplace, about 3 miles in. The area is well-trafficked so it is hard to miss. Primitive camping is available nearby and this is a great backpacking trail for beginners.
