There are beautiful places to walk in the Heights by high cliffs and pine. There is Lake Elmo (dog friendly) and Swords Park where you can hike along the rims. However, in the middle of these beautiful places, they have an oil refinery (like a black eye) when walking the rims, obstructs Yellow Stone River as well as polluting it I'm certain! The air quality is awful some mornings, due to the airport that was built right on top of the rims! The noise from the Rocky Mountain Aviation School and military planes robs the place of its natural peace and tranquility. They took a beautiful, natural environment and ruined it with constant bombardment of air traffic noise, pollution from airplanes taxing on runway (near homes) and Swords Park, and of course there is the oil refinery and traffic. Lots of traffic! Simply put, the roads must have been built way before the people arrived. Too many cars, not enough lanes, creates back up traffic for miles. Makes a commute much longer! I give it a B-
Billings is a great city located in Montana. Billings is still rural enough to give you the love of outdoors and mountains, but large enough to give you the nightlife of music and fun if that's your "thing".
When you dig deeper into a relationship with Billings, the schools are strong. From a personal perspective, a teacher in the high school my son attends shows passion about the growth of my son's studies to the point of being there for his struggles through the holidays when others were taking time off. That's dedication!
The weather itself in Montana is something to get used to, with nice temperatures in the Summer months, but pretty frigid during the Winter. However, don't fret it too much, your body acclimates to the changes and once that happens you'll be enjoying the frigid waters of the Yellowstone River with the rest of them.
Overall Billings is a pretty awesome place to live and/or visit.

I have been coming to Billings,MT since I was about 5 years old. We used to come up here in the summer and visit our grandparents and do all kinds of fun stuff all summer. We used to go to Big Splash before they closed down, Geyser Park when they still had go carts. Swimming, Barbecues all summer long and even going camping in George Town Lake. When I was about 11 years old my mom and siblings moved up here and been here ever since. Now, I get to raise my son here and show him and let him experience all the amazing things I got to do when I was a kid! I cant wait to see his reaction!
