Billings Travel Log

Many times people are just stopping off in Billings or using it as a gateway to some other place like Yellowstone National Park or possibly TX Ranch and they are always asking what can we do to kill time. My response is what type of activities do you like to do? There are so many things in and around Billings it just takes figuring out what you want to do. Below are things I would suggest if I had the free time below.
1-2 hours I would go to Western Heritage Museum or Yellowstone Art Museum or one of the many local shops downtown.
3-4 hours I would head over to Moss Mansion which truly is an amazing tour which gives history of the way people lived as well as the history. Or I would go for a walk up in Zimmerman park which is neat because you walk along the rims on dirt paths overlooking the city.
5-6 hours I would probably head to Red Lodge to take in the small town where they have great food, really great local stores. It is about an hour away but worth the drive. I might also head out to the pictograph caves not located too far out of Billings. You can see old Native American cave drawings from a very long ago.

Those are just some of the many things I would and have done. What you have to understand is even though Billings is the largest city in Montana it is still very small so everything will still have the charm many attractions lack in larger more populated parts of the country.
