It makes sense, I mean GREAT is already in the name, right? Lots of job opportunities, waterfalls, and low housing prices help put Great Falls on this list. Great Falls is also home to over 57 parks and 40 miles of River's Edge Trail along the scenic Missouri River. All of these things make Great Falls, great.
