The view of the Yellowstone Valley, the city of Billings and of the Beartooth Mountains in the distance is amazing. .there is walking trails and uncharted paths along the rims for the more adventerous. This is a must for anyone visiting Billings.

We parked at Swords park the first time we visited but you will see other areas along the road you can pull in and park. Walking path and rocks to climb on all along the rim. We came several times during our visit to Billings. It's right near the airport so you must do it when flying in or out of Billings!

Great views and a very nice paved trail. It’s a bit hard to find because there are no signs pointing to it. If you’re using your GPS, put in Swords Rimrock Park. You can park your car in the parking lot and walk the rim.

Great views of Billings and the surrounding area from these cliffs. Very hot and little cover from the sun when we were there. We started from the point near the airport - should have driven further east and started from the center of the park.

Beautiful! It was an easy hike that anybody could enjoy, but so gorgeous that it wasn’t boring for avid hikers. The scenery is breathtaking and the trail was easy, if you watch where you’ll going you’ll be fine. It’s relaxing if you want to hike alone, but it’s exciting if you want it to be! Kids, teens, and adults will all enjoy this hike. Couldn’t of been more beautiful.

We came here to hike around after lunch on a Monday. And it was pretty empty. We saw 2 other hikers. We didn't do the whole thing, but we did a portion and were able to get up to see the city. The first view we saw was of the electric or refinery plant, which was not really a nice view. But looking to the left, there was a really pretty view. This is a good place to exercise and we spent less than 30 minutes. And then we were ready to go, but you could do a much longer one if you wanted to.

Very frustrating! Two different sets of directions took us to the wrong place. Google please update your directions.
Just head towards Billings Airport and you’ll be in the general vicinity. Did a short walk around Swords Park which gave a good view of the city. It was really hot out so we just walked towards the airport and back. There’s two paths, one paved and one that’s more of a trail. The edge of the rocks is a steep drop off and you can see where some climbers have climbed the rocks.

This is a wonderful bike trail for all levels of bikers. Our family of 6 (two kids) had a great ride on Wednesday. The views are breathtaking; the historical markers were educational and very interesting. Highly recommend this adventure on a nice day while in Billings with your bikes!

If you are visiting Billings you must drive and park and then hike along the top of the Rimrocks. Take the kids take their bikes. What a fab view from the top. Great video & photo opportunity. It’s spectacular. Easy hike can do it on your trainers 👟 it’s just beautiful up there 👆

Beautiful views from the rimrocks if you can find the them. The address simply states Rimrock road. From town, you take Rimrock Road to Zimmerman Trail, you will drive north on a beautiful, but steep road to Hwy 3. Then turn right and in a short bit you will find a place to pull off, but be carefull, there are a lot of pot holes and getting back onto Hwy 3 is tough. Or you can just head straight west of the airport and you will see the pull off. Traffic is busy on Hwy 3.
We took photos and sat for a while enjoying the views.

Best spot is from up top looking over the city and view the Yellowstone river. Some nice walking trails and interesting points of history associated with the Rimrock

You can see the Rimrocks from downtown, but then as you go up to the airport, you can ride along them or there is a little park that you can visit and walk along them!!

How do you get to The Rimrocks? What can we put into the GPS that would get us close to or to the right location?
Written June 19, 2016
If you put Billings Logan Airport in your navigation system, that should get you there. Access to the Rimrock trail is just east of the airport.
