Captain
Lewis's journal reveals how stunned and amazed he was at finding two
fantastic falls; one "pleasingly beautifull" - Rainbow Falls
and the other "sublimely grand'" - the Great Falls. Lewis
named this third falls "Beautiful Cascade" Now it's Rainbow
Falls. The views, above, can be seen at Rainbow Falls and Dam Overlook
on Giant Springs Road in Great Falls. Private property access would
by necessary to see Crooked and Rainbow Falls from Lewis's viewpoint
on the north bank of the Missouri River.
After visiting the Great Falls, I drove southwest on US HWY 87 to
the city of Great Falls. Crossing the Missouri River, I turned left
onto Riverside Drive N, and left again on Giant Springs Road. Lewis
& Clark Interpretive Center, Giant Springs State Park, Rainbow
Falls Overlook, and the trail to Crooked Falls are all along this
road. |
