Les meilleurs hôtels à Billings

Montana gets the name "Big Sky Country" from places like Billings. It's Montana's largest city, rising from rolling grasslands. Billings was once the kingdom of great herds of buffalo ... these days cows rule the plains. But the buffalo remains in the Montanan's heart -- and his stomach. A person can still find a lean, juicy buffalo steak. Montana Meats will fill you in (and up!). Trout-rich rivers spill from the mountains to the south, elevating fly fishing to a hallowed pursuit. The region also draws thousands of tourists each year on their way to nearby Yellowstone National Park. Some come to drive over the Beartooth Highway, which Charles Kurault dubbed "the world's most beautiful highway." And each year, iron-lunged athletes come from Billings and beyond to race on the curvy, steep road. The runners start at 7,000 feet and finish at 9,000. Billings revels in the cowboy mystique. Folks in the western part of the state may wear Birkenstocks, but from Billings on east, the fashion runs strictly toward cowboy boots.
