Sacagawea Scenic Overlook, Great Falls


Took this photo as the sun was setting and darkness was almost on us. Had to brighten up the image to see any details of these unusual scultpures, created from small bits of metal. Taken on 11 September 2012, in Great Falls, Montana, US, at the Sacagawea Scenic Overlook on the Missouri River. Sacagawea was the only woman on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This area is part of Giant Springs State Park. This was the first day of our week's trip, when we broke our drive from Calgary to Yellowstone National Park by staying the night in Great Falls. I had expected to easily find information on the Internet about these sculptures, but so far haven't had any luck.
"The Lewis and Clark Expedition, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition (1804–1806), was the first transcontinental expedition to the Pacific coast undertaken by the United States. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, it was led by two Virginia-born veterans of Indian wars in the Ohio Valley, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Their objectives were both scientific and economical – to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to discover what natural resources were available." From Wikipedia.
