THE
WHITE CLIFFS
The White Cliffs are remarkable underground cliffs crowding both sides
of the Frigid River downstream of the Flood Control
Dam #3.
These giant walls stretch
from north to south, mainly along the eastern shore of the river, as it
winds its way downstream. Most of the range is much too steep for
climbing. Halfway between the Dam and Aragain Falls on the western
shore of the Frigid River is the scenic White Cliffs Beach.
South of the Aragain Falls, the White Cliffs are seen by the light of
day, where the eastern walls, looming much higher than the western
cliffs, join the mighty ramparts of the Flathead Mountains. As the
Frigid River curbed westward, flowing through the canyon formed by the
cliffs, the tall walls gradually diminish in height and fade away
altogether before the Frigid River Delta.
A
certain cave among the White Cliffs was the spot of the death of the
famous surfer, Dude Hobbleguzz. A shrine was erected from him within
the cave where he perished, but later relocated elsewhere.
