To us, the best people in the world are outsiders. People who embrace pure, unencumbered Montana in all its forms. Rock walls. Mighty rivers. Mountains stretching into big, blue skies.
But it’s also the people who go against the grain and believe that normal just isn’t good enough. People who crave boldness and authenticity, rather than settling for the same old. Billings was built on that outsider spirit. That despite appearances and naysayers, no climb was too steep. No trail was too rocky. No burger was too juicy. On the idea that staying true to our roots is more important than fitting in with everyone and everything else. That’s what is great about Billings. We’ve been authentic Montana since 1882. And maybe that makes us the outsiders of the bunch. Not sure about you, but that’s just fine with us. Because as we say:
WE WERE BORN TO BE OUTSIDERS
As the cool weather sets in, we shun the idea of taking refuge indoors. Because even as the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, our need for adventure remains white hot. The snow covering the trails we know so well simply calls to us to be the first tracks of the day, and arts, entertainment and culinary delights warm the moments in between. It’s a great time to be an outsider in Billings. So come visit us.
