10 Things to do in Great Falls That You Shouldn't Miss
Anyone with an interest in history and a love of the great outdoors will enjoy a getaway to Great Falls. Steeped in the traditions of the Old West and chock-full of historic buildings and important landmarks, the city itself is a living museum. But there are also real museums to explore. Check out the Lewis & Clark National Trail Interpretive Center which has interactive exhibits and videos that help you retrace the steps of the famous explorers. The C.M. Russell Museum Complex displays the work of the "Cowboy Artist" Charlie Russell. Families should stop at the Children's Museum of Montana for hours of entertainment. Or walk into the past of the Northern Plains at First People’s Buffalo Jump, where Native Americans used to stampede buffalo over cliffs. Visitors can also take advantage of a wide array of outdoor recreation opportunities. With a fantastic view of the Missouri River, the 24-mile River's Edge Trail is great for walking, biking, in-line skating or jogging. Bird watchers will enjoy the Benton Lake Wildlife Refuge, and hiking, biking and camping opportunities in nearby mountain ranges offer even more outdoor fun.

Floating the Dearborn river is great summer time fun. It is also incredibly beautiful to just drive around the back roads. Get a Montana Gazzette Map to see where your going.

What a beautiful house! This clerk of Court fills civil lawsuits and felony criminal actions. There is a lot of parking places and lots of huge trees. It has even a canon. I liked the Cascade Courthouse. It is attractive! It stands out. They have stairs to enter. It has 4 pillars There is a dome as well and a statue on the top. Worthwhile to see!
