Great Falls takes its name from the series of waterfalls on the Missouri River that forced Lewis and Clark into a grueling month-long portage in 1805. Hydroelectric dams later earned it the nickname the Electric City. Today it is the hub of north-central Montana: Malmstrom Air Force Base, home to a Minuteman III missile wing, and the Montana Air National Guard anchor the economy alongside healthcare, agriculture and grain processing for the wheat and barley farms of the surrounding Golden Triangle.

Great Falls International Airport sits on a bluff above the city, and flying private shortens the long drives across the plains to Helena, Billings or the Hi-Line. It also makes a convenient gateway to the Rocky Mountain Front and the east side of Glacier National Park, a couple of hours to the northwest. Visitors come for the C. M. Russell Museum, which preserves the cowboy artist’s home and log studio, the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, the River’s Edge Trail along the Missouri and the blue-ribbon trout water near Craig, upstream toward Helena.
