***Combine Work with Play in Big Sky Country***

Whether you're here for pre-implementation or joining us for our annual Users Group Conference, plan to stay for a bit! Downtown Billings and Montana's great outdoors have something for everyone.

If you've never traveled to Billings, then prepare to marvel at Big Sky Country and its expansive embrace. Montana is something to see gorgeous scenery, hiking trails, award-winning microbreweries, fishing, rafting, sightseeing, and unique shopping experiences await you.

Named as a ["best town" by ](https://www.outsideonline.com/video/why-billings-montana-best-town-2016/)[*Outside Magazine*](https://www.outsideonline.com/video/why-billings-montana-best-town-2016/), the rich culture of Billings will leave you inspired. Here are the top five things to do while you're here. 

**Visit the Rimrocks**

The allure of the Rimrocks remains unyielding, and local hikers and mountain bikers frequently visit. With several trails that amount to 18 miles in total, the Rims are a prime location to catch the scenic sights of Billings.

**Explore Yellowstone National Park**  

It may not reside in Billings, but no trek to Montana is complete without a trip to our nation's first national park. Travel down the [Beartooth Highway](http://beartoothhighway.com/) toward Yellowstone, and relish in one of the most scenic drives in America. Come back to nature as you take in the majestic mountains and serene hot springs of this 3,500 square mile park. Gaze peacefully into the dramatic canyons and alpine rivers as you experience the biodiverse, lush ecosystems of [Yellowstone](https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/index.htm). 

**Check Out the Local Art Scene**

Billings is home to an array of art galleries and performing arts organizations. If you have a flare for visual artifacts, take in the matured collection of historic and contemporary art at the [Yellowstone Art Museum](https://www.artmuseum.org/). In the mood for music? Catch the [Billings Symphony](https://billingssymphony.org/) at the [Alberta Bair Theater](http://www.albertabairtheater.org/). Interested in theater or improv comedy? Visit the [Nova Theater](https://novabillings.org/) and its broad display of talent. 

**Enjoy Shopping & Cuisine **

[Shop downtown Billings](https://billings365.com/lifestyle-and-shopping-in-billings-montana) where you'll find exclusive items made locally. Take home the Wild West with some authentic, western decor and fashion. With more than 50 retail stores and 30 restaurants and pubs, you'll never have an excuse to be left empty-handed ... or with an empty stomach.

**Relax with a Microbrew**

We boast award-winning craft beers at a variety of breweries. They're all right downtown within walking distance of the [DoubleTree](http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/montana/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-billings-BILDTDT/index.html).
