Presentazione generale
Billings and Bighorn Country
Sandstone falsies, Plains cultures and history of the American border.
To understand what Billings and Bighorn Country are, you need to look at Pictograph Cave State Park, Pompeys Pillar and Little Bighorn Battlefield. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Luoghi imperdibili

Nature and panorama
Pictograph Cave State Park
Pictograph Cave State Park houses cavities where painted and engraved traces remain long before the arrival of modern cities. A few minutes from Billings, the trail links archaeology and dry cliff landscape; the visit requires a slow look at the walls to distinguish the ancient forms.
Place indismissible
Pompeys Pillar
Pompeys Pillar is a block of sandstone dominating the Yellowstone River, known for William Clark's signature engraved in the rock during the Lewis and Clark expedition. The site brings together belvedere, history written on the stone and wide views of the river plains around the Billings.
Place indismissible
Little Bighorn Battlefield
Little Bighorn Battlefield conserves the hills where the 7th cavalry and the forces of Lakota, North Cheyenne and Arapaho met. Markers scattered in grass, cemetery and interpretive panels give a sober visit, where relief helps to understand the course and scope of the fight.
Place indismissible
Rimrocks
The Rimrocks form the sandstone cornice that dominates Billings, from ancient marine deposits and then cut off by the Yellowstone River. From the viewpoints, the city straddles below, while the golden layers tell a much older landscape than the streets and signs.
