A waterfall is not merely a feature of the landscape; it is a mechanism of the watershed, a place where gravity and geology intersect to oxygenate the stream and shape the valley floor. Snowshoe Falls is an unconfirmed waterfall in Missoula County, Montana, with an estimated drop of 15 feet. It is located on Lolo Creek, near Lolo Pass/Highway 12. The surrounding area is part of the Lolo National Forest. The surrounding Lolo National Forest dictates the character of the flow, filtering snowmelt through timber and soil before it reaches the precipice.
