Rimrocks, Sandstone cliffs in Billings, United States.
The Rimrocks stretch 18 miles along Billings, forming massive sandstone walls that rise sharply above the Yellowstone River valley and city neighborhoods.
The geological formation originated 80 million years ago when the area marked the shoreline of the Western Interior Seaway, creating layers of compressed sand.
Native American tribes considered these cliffs sacred places, using them as observation points and conducting ceremonies at locations like Sacrifice Cliff.
Multiple parks and hiking trails along the Rimrocks provide access points for visitors, including Swords Park and Phipps Park with designated parking areas.
French traders in 1832 used the natural crevasses within these sandstone formations as winter shelters, leaving behind artifacts discovered in the 1940s.
