Hit the trails! Billings is home to hundreds of acres of city parks and 47 miles of walking and biking trails. This winter we have enjoyed mild weather filled with sunny views! Swords Rimrock park is always a local favorite on blue sky winter days as it makes it even easier to see the 5 mountain ranges within our region!

Winter Sports. When the snow does hit in Billings don’t be afraid to get out and enjoy it! Winter can provide some of the most scenic views while outdoor recreating. Rent cross country skis or snowshoes from The Base Camp and hit up our trail system! If you are looking for something fast paced, Red Lodge Mountain is only an hour drive from Billings and has some great downhill skiing! If you’re talent isn’t X-Games ready, don’t sweat it. Any experience level will have a great time here! Just stay humble on the slopes – we don’t want to see you faceplant, either.

Check out Steepworld Indoor Climbing and Fitness for a fun adventure and workout! Check out one of Billings newer indoor adventure spots, Ox Indoor Axe Throwing. Sharpen your axe throwing skills while enjoying your favorite beverages! This spot is BYOB, so make sure to visit a stop on the Billings Brew Trail before you swing by (yeah, that was an axe pun).
