Beyond the National Park: Uncovering the Rich History of Great Falls, Montana

On episode 53, Julie & Art travel beyond Glacier National Park to Great Falls Montana. If you are buying an airplane ticket to get to Glacier National Park, consider spending some extra time in the state. This episode starts a series of extra adventures beyond GNP.  Part of a multi-episode journey through Montana, we have more on the way in future episodes with more things you can do while you are visiting in the state of Montana.

Visiting Great Falls Montana

The city of Great Falls is about a 3 hour drive south of Glacier National Park. The city is named for a series of five waterfalls located on the Missouri River north.  Today, Great Falls is the 3rd largest city in Montana and attracts over 1 million visitors annually.

On this episode, we discuss our stops for our one day in Great Falls Montana:  

• Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center
• Roe River
• Giant Springs State Park
• and more

On our Foodie Corner, we stop at MacKenzie River Pizza Company.
