BILLINGS, Mont. - Billings TrailNet is working to raise money for the Stagecoach Trail: a trail for pedestrian and bike traffic that would connect the Rims to the valley near Zimmerman Trail.
Billings TrailNet Executive Director Kristi Drake said the Stagecoach Trail would improve safety by keeping people away from traffic. We do have bicyclists going up there all the time, Drake said. You and I were just walking up here and we saw a bicyclist coming down through Zimmerman Park, over the guardrail, and then getting onto Zimmerman Trail.
Drake added the trail would also add connectivity between the Heights and the valley.

A total of $27,000 has been donated in December.
The Skyline Trail is partially built and will run along Highway 3 from Zimmerman Park to Swords Park.
