Montana's third largest city is a marketing center with
good air and highway connections. Grand vistas can be
found in every direction; Great Falls is surrounded
by mountains and buttes on three sides, as well as vast
plains to the north. Within minutes you can be on a
large wheat farm, in a beautiful winding river gorge,
or a picturesque valley. The city, with its mid-western
flavor, straddles the Missouri River which meanders
toward natural falls on the north eastern edge of town.
