City Walking Video for Treadmill Virtual Vacation
Billings lies in the central part of Montana and, while it doesn’t have the mountains of the west, it does have lots of great open, natural country to explore.
Virtual Park Walk in Montana’s Biggest City
Hello Walkers,
Today’s virtual walk takes us back to Billings, Montana, and the John H. Dover Memorial Park on the city’s east side, right along the banks of the Yellowstone River. This beautiful spot is one of several parks that line the river, many of them connected by a walking and biking trail system—though I’m not certain the path stretches quite this far. Our route today starts along the rim with sweeping views, then drops down into the shady cottonwood forest before crossing the cobble shore to the water’s edge. We’ll make our way back to the trailhead after crossing a couple of charming suspension footbridges.
It was a seriously windy day for this walk, and you’ll feel that gusty energy as we go. Just before and after filming, those winds turned fierce—strong enough to blow over a semi truck in Livingston (not the first time this year) and to set records here in Billings. On my drive home, the wind even tore a small piece off my car. We even caught a little bit of rain during the walk, adding to the atmosphere.
Virtual walks like this one are perfect for treadmill workouts, indoor fitness, or simply enjoying a peaceful escape. They’re great for burning calories, reducing stress, and exploring new places without leaving home. If you have ideas for more virtual hikes or scenic walking tours in Montana, drop your suggestions in the comments—I love hearing from you and often choose locations based on your feedback.
One unique detail about John H. Dover Memorial Park: it’s actually private land, created and maintained by the Yellowstone River Parks Association (YRPA). It’s an inspiring example of a community coming together to preserve natural spaces for everyone to enjoy.
Whether you’re here for the fitness, the scenery, or the soothing sound of the Yellowstone River, I hope you enjoy this windy, adventurous stroll through one of Billings’ hidden gems.
Keep on Steppin’
