The town of Bellinghams lies on the banks of the Yellowstone River, which makes beautiful waterfalls in its upper reaches. The semi-permanent climate that dominates the area is what makes the weather so peculiar. A harsh summer and a dry but cold winter are common in this area. The autumn and spring seasons are short-lived here. Billings is the largest settlement in the state. It is surrounded by natural mountains and attracts active recreationists. The neighborhood is often frequented by fans of windsurfing and canoeing. Theres a real fishing scene for fishing enthusiasts.
Billing is also known as a college town. Within its boundaries is the main campus of the University of Montana. Many natural areas are considered local specialties. One of the parks is home to the Museum of Art, the largest art museum in the state. The natural features of Belling are the caves where explorers have discovered ancient murals.
