Welcome to Montana
Billings was recently named one of the Top Best Places to Live and Work, according to Employment Review magazine and BestJobsUSA.com.
Paradise! Montanans have the luxury of vacationing where they live and work. Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. World class fly fishing in blue ribbon trout streams. Miles of wilderness trails. Whitewater rafting. Snowmobiling. Three ski resorts less than three hours away.
And, contrary to rumors, the weather's cooperative. You'd have to spend a winter here to believe the mild climate — especially the surprising spring-like weather that often comes in January and February!
Welcome to Billings
Montana's largest city, Billings is the medical, financial and trade center of our four-state area. Nestled in the Yellowstone River valley on the east slope of the Rockies, Billings is framed on three sides by scenic mountain ranges. The Rimrocks, 300 to 500 foot high sandstone cliffs, form a landmark border to the north and east, and the Yellowstone River flows serenely past the city's southern edge.
The best things in life — pure water, clean air, sunshine days, no traffic jams, and a healthy and safe community for families. Our children walk to neighborhood schools that rank above average on the Terra Nova Achievement Test. Parents are active in PTA. High school students consistently score above national and state averages on the ACT and SAT exams.
