This city is the home of the C.M. Russell Museum, which features the artist&#8217;s images of the American West. You can also visit the Gibson Square Museum of Art, which is housed in a historic building. You may also want to check out the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretation Center, which features exhibits about the explorers&#8217; route and is located adjacent to Giant Springs State Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This city has a vibrant park and recreation department. There are plenty of indoor activities for the whole family. If you like to get wet, there is an Electric City Water Park in the city, which is open throughout the summer. There are also outdoor activities for the entire family at the park. If you&#8217;re looking for some fresh air, Great Falls also has a beautiful natural landscape. Its parks and rivers are an excellent way to relax after a long day of sightseeing and shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area around Great Falls is home to several museums, including the C.M. Russell Museum, a museum dedicated to the artist and photographer who made iconic images of the American West. Another museum, the Gibson Square Museum of Art, shows modern art in a landmark building. The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretation Center has exhibits about the route the explorers took to reach the Missouri River. A second cultural attraction in the area is Giant Springs State Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re into hiking, you&#8217;ll want to check out the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, which is located just south of Great Falls. You can take a day or two hiking in this national forest, and camp overnight. The Forest Service office can provide information on the best hiking trails in the area. The national forest is an excellent destination for serious hikers. It is also wheelchair-accessible, so it&#8217;s great for those who have limited mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors can also enjoy stunning views of the mountains from the park&#8217;s visitor center. Historic buildings in Great Falls are a must-see, and you can purchase a map that shows all of these places. The visitor center also sells maps of all of the historical sites in the area, and they will give you a great insight into the history of the area. You can also check out the Lower Northside architecture, which is dotted with Colonial Revival, Tudor, Craftsman, and Queen Anne style homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 1980s, Great Falls had some tough times, but that has changed recently. Despite the city&#8217;s growth in the 1990s, the city&#8217;s heartland industry has suffered in recent years, and the population has dropped by nearly 5%. Since then, Great Falls has been largely in decline. The city&#8217;s population is concentrated in less than 2,500 square miles, and its natural beauty is stunning. There are many ways to explore this beautiful city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to travel to an interesting city, you may want to consider visiting Great Falls Montana.
