City/town information
Billings is a small town but hosts quite a few events year round including rodeos, concerts, symphonies, fights, races, and a little bit of everything for everyone. There are walk and bike trails throughout the city and parks as well. The Rims have a beautiful view of the city and 3 mountain ranges surrounding. Golf and folf courses, target practice, fishing access, Lake Elmo, paddle boarding, and other activities are also available in town. River rafting, tubing, flying fishing, hiking, camping etc are all less then an hour away as well.

Neighborhoods
There are several walking/running trails and bike lanes directly out the front door of the condo. I use them a couple times a week. They wind through the neighborhoods and you can do multiple distances. There's also an elementary school across the street with a large grass area, swings, and basketball court. In addition, restaurants and shopping are only 5-10 minutes tops away. Truly a central location!!

City advice
What to pack
We can have all seasons in one day so we usually wear layers
Pack warm extra clothes in the winter with hat, gloves, and boots.
Customs and culture
Montanans are friendly and courteous!
Both women and men will go out of their way to hold the door for you and we will expect the same in return. Please thank the door holder. Please be courteous in general and be prepared for strangers to strike up conversations when waiting in line etc. This is our friendly Montana culture! :)
Getting around
Car is the fastest way to get around with little traffic.
There is a bus stop about 150 feet, without crossing any streets, at Monad and 32nd. You can just walk through the parking lot to get there.
*The interstate onramp is also about 5 minutes away!
