Great Falls comes by its name honestly. Although none of the four falls are as big as Niagara, the name great is probably refers to the beauty of each set. Considering theres all that water rushing down you might be surprised to know that Great Falls is home to the Roe River, one of the shortest rivers in the world (its even in the Guinness World Book of Records). There are however larger rivers in the area making it an ideal place to go fly-fishing.
Great Falls is also known for the impressive Malmstrom Air Force Base and the 341st Space Wing, which is involved in the missile business. Now, I dont want to get involved in any conspiracy theories but Great Falls is also one of the most active sites for UFOs. Perhaps this is because of the Air Force Base or maybe those from a distant galaxy are using that as a cover up. Either way, Great Falls provides some very interesting memories... if they allow you to remember them.
Onto a different topic The Sip-N-Dip Lounge. You know that its good when the locals love it as much as the visitors. Other then the friendly service, great food and drinks, what makes this place extra special? The Mermaids of course. The huge glass wall between the bar and swimming pool gives you the chance to see one for yourself.
