Great Falls received its name from the five area waterfalls located along the Missouri River. While exploring the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition had to navigate around these, which took 31 difficult days. Today, two parts of their journey are included in a national historic landmark, the Great Falls Portage.
Surprisingly, the weather in Great Falls will be relatively mild in coming days, with sunshine and daytime highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. After a military discount airline ticket deposits them at Great Falls International Airport, military travelers can take ground transportation to their hotel. The highly rated Best Western Plus Heritage Inn is located on Fox Farm Road, just off the freeway. Nearby restaurants include Jakers and McKenzie River Pizza Co.
Giant Springs Heritage State Park and Fish Hatchery is a must-see attraction. It features one of the largest fresh water springs on the planet.
