GREAT FALLS, MT - MISSOURI RIVER

The Supreme Commander at
Black Eagle Falls, Great Falls, MT

The Missouri River (the longest river in the USA) passes through Great Falls, Montana where there are five waterfalls within a span of about ten miles. These are the falls that confounded and delayed the Lewis & Clark Expedition for about a month.

Great Falls is near the upper center of Montana and about a hundred miles from the Canadian border. The waterfall (and dam) pictured here, known as Black Eagle Falls, is a short distance from Centene Stadium where the Great Falls Voyagers play their home games. It was named Black Eagle Falls for a black eagle that built its nest in a cottonwood tree on an island in the falls.
