Great Falls, MT, area
This is the Freezeout Lake Wildlife Refuge, northwest of Great Falls. The green in the foreground & the water are unusual in this area, but the dry area in the background is typical.
There are 5 significant waterfalls along the Missouri River. Due to a series of dams, the falls are not very impressive. The pics show one of the dams & a long concrete river bypass. When Lewis & Clark came this way, what they thought would be a half day of travel turned into 18 days, due to having to portage 15 miles & 500 feet in elevation around the falls.
The Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center was quite good, as was the C. M. Russell Museum here in Great Falls. I especially liked the door handles at the Russell Museum.
