NamingThe falls draws its name from Montezuma (1466-1520), an Aztec emperor of Mexico. A mining company called the Montezuma Silver Mining Company, formed in 1891, held leases in the area surrounding the falls.[5] Location and featuresThe Montezuma Falls are situated north-east of Zeehan, near the village of {{TAScity|Rosebery}}, accessible via the Murchison Highway. The falls commence at an elevation of {{convert|449|m}} above sea level and descend in the range of {{convert|103|-|110|m}},[2][3] making the falls one of the highest in Tasmania.[4] The {{convert|8|km|adj=on}} three-hour return walking track from the trackhead at the foot of Mount Read near {{TAScity|Williamsford}}.[6] RailwayThe track follows much of the route of the former {{convert|2|ft|cm|adj=on}} narrow gauge North East Dundas Tramway and earlier views of the falls include the passing railway line [7][8][9][10] The falls location was a stopping point on the North East Dundas tram The proximity of the line to the falls was described in 1926: This little railway is a "show" line of the highest order, for it dives quickly amongst the mountains, brushing the fringe of immense forests, and at one point giving a near view, of the hand- some Montezuma Falls-so near that the spray actually dashes at times against the carriage win- dows. From Williamsford one can take a motor for the five miles to Rosebery.[11] The railway alignment, after closing of the operation was used for trips to view the falls [12][13] See also{{stack|{{Portal|Tasmania|Environment}}}}
