The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Billings, Montana (MT)
Lewis & Clark, Custer, Sitting Bull and Calamity Jane may be long gone, but they are not forgotten in Billings. Museums, galleries and landmarks honoring these legendary characters from the Old West dot the city, making it a history buff's dream destination. Surrounded by six breathtaking mountain ranges, Billings also offers plenty of opportunities for fresh air recreation, including hiking, biking, golf and viewing rare Montana wildlife. Spend time at the Western Heritage Center, an interactive museum full of clothing and remarkable artifacts from the Yellowstone River Valley. In the early 1900s, the railroad brought wealth to Billings and testaments of this prosperity are still standing. Be sure to visit the regal Moss Mansion, designed by architect H.J. Hardenbergh (who also designed the Waldorf-Astoria and Plaza Hotels in New York City). In the more modern realm, MetraPark offers horse racing, rodeos, concerts, fairs and other types of entertainment everyone will enjoy. And kids of all ages will enjoy the animals and games at ZooMontana.

Dealer (I still like to call it Cobb Field) is a great place to enjoy a ball game on a nice summer night. Try “The Stang” burger.

Want a great view of Billings, the Yellowstone River, the South Rims. and SUNSETS ? (OK, sunrises too.) Now, want to see a interesting bit of cowboy history in Billings? With lots of photos? Yellowstone Kelly was a lot like Buffalo Bill. But not as famous or as rich. Want to park your car, walk for a bit? Great views, fresh air.
9. Pictograph Cave State Park
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 407 reviews
Pictograph Cave State Park is a National Historic Landmark known for its importance to Northern Plains Archaeology. Visitors will learn about the rock art and artifacts found here which dates thousands of years old. This 23 acre park features walking trails, stunning scenery, a green-design visitor's center, picnic grounds, museum displays, everything you need for a fun and educational visit! The site is well-known for its' spirit writing. Soluble minerals leach through the sandstone and cover the rock art, but when the wall becomes wet, on rare instances, that veil of minerals will lift (becomes transparent) revealing what is hidden beneath. On a dry day you may see 5-9 pictographs, but on the brief, wet occurrences, 10-15 more images may appear in better detail. The Crow people believe that many of these images were drawn by the spirits, and whichever ones you see are meant to give you a personal message or even foretell future events.

This was a great stop to stretch my legs on my road trip. A nice walk around the caves on a well maintained trail path. There was a lot of educational information posted along the park. Would recommend coming here if you’re driving through the area on a nice day.
