It may not be picnic in the park weather outside, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t tons of stuff to do around here. In fact the Billings Area can get pretty creative when it comes to winter activities. I personally love to go to go hiking or biking along the rims, or on snowy days, go sledding at Pioneer Park.
The best part about living in Billings is it’s proximity to endless outdoor adventures, year-round.
