Great Falls, Montana

Some facts I learned about Great Falls from Wikipedia: population 56,900, founded in 1883, there are 82 sworn police officers, there was a UFO incident here in 1950 involving baseball players, Ryan Leaf is a native, A River Runs Through It filmed here, and it is a sister city of Sharya, Russia.

Some facts I learned about Great Falls from my visit: Lewis and Clark portaged through here, portages are paths where you must carry your boat when the water is unsafe to boat through, there is a dam on the waterfalls that Great Falls is named after, and Great Falls is obsessed with the lewis and clark portage

Great Falls was really beautiful. And, luckily for me, the weather was pretty nice. Since I arrived in the early afternoon, I had the opportunity to be a tourist for a little bit and I went to the Lewis and Clark center and Great Springs.

The Great Falls airport: decorated with a wide assortment of mounted, dead animals and references to the Great Falls Portage.
