Located within Kootenai National Forest in remote northwestern Montana, the Yaak River roars as it traverses Yaak Falls, full of snowmelt when we visited it a few days ago.
The river originates in British Columbia and flows into the might Kootenai River a few miles downriver from where we saw this waterfall. Yaak Falls is easy to access, this view taken from a roadside turnout.
I think the video clip below gives you a feel for what it’s like to see Yaak Falls first-hand.
