Family Friendly Hikes
Hikes For The Whole Family
Billings boasts miles of scenic hikes that make it simple for families to get outside and explore together. With wide trails, gentle terrain and fresh Montana air, these outings are perfect for kids of all ages and give everyone a front-row seat to Montana’s natural beauty.
Zimmerman Park
Zimmerman Park is a local favorite for a quick escape into the outdoors. Perched above the Rimrocks, its short trails lead to sweeping views of the Yellowstone Valley, where the river snakes below and the Beartooth Mountains shimmer in the distance. Kids can scramble over rocky outcrops and peer into small crevices, while parents enjoy the wide-open skies and easy walking paths.
Two moon Park
At Two Moon Park, the pace slows along shady riverside trails that wind beneath towering cottonwoods and through sunlit meadows. Strollers and bikes roll easily here, and it’s common to spot herons fishing in the shallows or red-winged blackbirds calling from the reeds. Picnic tables tucked under the trees make it an ideal stop for lunch or a snack.
Pictograph Cave State Park
For a hike with a story, Pictograph Cave State Park offers a short trail leading to ancient caves adorned with rock art created thousands of years ago. Interpretive signs bring the past to life, and curious young explorers can imagine what life was like for the people who once stood in the same spot. Along the way, watch for lizards basking on warm rocks and wildflowers brightening the trail edges.
