One of Montana's crowning glories, Billings has carved a niche for itself in the trade sector, elevating its economic and commercial growth. Its terrain is peppered with a slew of enchanting attractions which include parks, zoos and recreation areas. Museums and theaters abound in the city, too, and a number of events are held here regularly.


Pictograph Cave State Park

The Pictograph Cave is a stunning display of human habitation within North America. Nestled in the recesses of southern Montana, the cave was first excavated in 1937, revealing a treasure trove of artifacts and archaeological finds. Among the discoveries were 20,000 specimens of animal bones including bison and elk that were deposited during the course of human predation and consumption. Most important are a series of cave paintings that give the site its name, the drawings ranging from 2100 to 200 years old. These pictographs constitute a timeline of sorts, depicting hunting practices from long ago as well as portrayals of Native Americans with rifles that speak to the dwindling days of their once-widespread culture. Beyond the cave itself, Pictograph Cave State Park is a place teeming with abundant outdoor fun.
