Giant Springs State Park

The Missouri River is the longest river in North America. Rising in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana, the Missouri flows east and south for 2,341 miles (3,767 km) before entering the Mississippi River north of St. Louis, Missouri. The river takes drainage from a sparsely populated, semi-arid watershed of more than half a million square miles (1,300,000 km2), which includes parts of ten U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. When combined with the lower Mississippi River, it forms the world's fourth longest river system.

Giant Springs State Park, along the Missouri River in Great Falls, Montana, was discovered by the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1805 and is one of the largest freshwater springs in the county. The spring flows at a rate of 156 million gallons of crystal clear water from the Madison Aquifer per day, the water originates from the Little Belt Mountains and takes approximately 26 years to reach the springs. Amazingly the water is a constant 12C (54F) degrees year-round, during the cold winter months water vapour covers the air and soaks the trees in the park, which then forms beautiful ice covered trees shining in the sunlight.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,132 reviews)

Everything about this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The fact that our room keys were left in the mailbox after closing hours was such a thoughtful touch and made our arrival completely hassle-free. Since my boyfriend and I arrived after hours and had a tour scheduled the next day, it was a bit difficult to stop by during the office’s open hours to redeem my available upgrade (Expedia Perks)—but that was a very minor inconvenience and didn’t take away from our experience at all. Would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone visiting.

This place far outweighed expectations! The staff were the most accomodating and extremely supportive and friendly! Couldn’t have asked for better staff with fresh cookies and coffee always on hand was a nice touch. The reception staff super polite and willing to help in any and all situations :)!
