Rims

The closures affect public areas of the Rims and around Zimmerman Trail from July 4th until the morning of July 5th.

It looks like a helicopter pad, but who would put THAT at the bottom of the Rims?

A man was located by authorities with a "serious injury" near the "lollipop water tower" along the Rims, and was transported to a local hospital. Detectives are currently on the scene of the incident.

Hope all of you have a safe and happy 4th. The roads will be busy so stay awake and alert. Don't forget the Rims are closed and it's a good thing too, it's so muddy up there someone could slip and fall or get stuck in their camper. See ya Thursday...

The response was great over the weekend in regards to the opening of the rims.  Not only from locals but from the many tourists who will take back memories and pictures of our most iconic feature.  It's hard to imagine how many of those were missed over the last 25 years...

Stay OUT. That's the message from the city of Billings to all tourist and folks who want to enjoy the rims over the 4th.  Yup, the most iconic feature in our town is shut down over the holiday. It's the only one in the state that I know of...

Thank goodness for Bike, Walk, Bus Week this week here in Billings. Had it not happened and had I not blogged about it I never would have known that the Downtown Billings Association has a Loan-A-Bike program. Not just any bikes but Cannondale's like the one pictured above...

I never get tired of this view, especially when the sun hits the rims just right. I took this with my iPhone at about 3:45 today.

I never get tired of looking at these.
