The Great Falls of the Missouri River are a series of waterfalls on the upper Missouri River in north-central Montana in the United States. The Missouri River drops a total of 612 feet from the first of the falls to the last, which includes a combined 187 feet of vertical plunges and 425 feet of riverbed descent. The Great Falls have been described as "spectacular", one of the "scenic wonders of America", and "a major geographic discovery". When the Lewis and Clark Expedition became the first white men to see the falls in 1805, Meriwether Lewis said they were the grandest sight he had beheld thus far in the journey.
