Warnings
You have to cross the main current to get to the cliffs; a swimmer went missing here in a recent summer. Strong swimmers only, and never at spring flows.
Access
Johnsrud Park Road off MT 200 about 15 miles east of Missoula (FWP fishing access site, free). Park at the FAS and walk down to the river; the cliffs are on the far bank.
Best conditions
Late July through August once runoff drops.
