Two Moons Park

After a leisurely morning and a visit with our next-door neighbors, who asked to have a tour of our trailer, we headed to Pictograph State Park.

I have to confess that this state park was a bit of a disappointment.

After touring the visitor’s center, which was pretty informative, we headed down the trail to take a look at the caves where the pictographs were.

The pictographs were almost impossible to identify. In fact, I really only saw two in the first cave and none in the other two caves.

This is the largest pictograph I was able to identify. What does it depict? I have no idea.

The scenery was amazing, though. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Four Dances Natural Area

Billings seems to be ringed by a series of cliffs called the Rimrocks. There are a couple of parks along the top of the Rimrocks. Four Dances Natural Area is one.

Since it was just down the street from Pictograph State Park, we decided to stop there and take the trail up to the scenic overlook.

This was another disappointment, but one I was expecting (based on my research before we began our trip).

The scenic overlook overlooks a refinery. Not exactly the most beautiful view!

Next, we headed to Lake Elmo State Park to check it out. Greg is interested in possibly kayaking there tomorrow.

It’s a small lake right within the city limits and should be perfect for kayaking, assuming we get there early enough to beat the heat.

105 Brewery

Then we headed to 105 Brewery, where I had my first ever beer. 🤢 🤮

There is a bike path that goes along the Yellowstone River right below the Rimrocks. We decided to see if we could figure out how to get on that bike path.

Greg thought we might have access from a tiny county park called Two Moons Park, so we headed there after our beers to check it out.

It does, indeed, provide access to the bike path, so maybe we will give that a try tomorrow as well.
