Lewis & Clark Trail
Great Falls Montana
One can almost hear Lewis's surprise at finding another falls.
"....at the distance of about five miles I arrived at a falls of about 19 feet; the river here is about 400 yds. wide. this pitch which I called the crooked falls occupys about three fourths of the width of the river...I should have returned from hence but hearing a tremendious roaring above me I continued my rout across the point of a hill a few hundred yards further and was again presented by one of the most beatifull objects in nature, a cascade of about fifty feet perpendicular streching at rightangles across the river from side to side to the distance of at least a quarter of a mile..." - Rainbow Falls. Crooked and Rainbow falls can be reached from the south side of the river.
