If Billings is too crowded for you, try its "suburbs" of Huntley and Shepherd, roughly ten miles east.

Two National Monuments are within a reasonable distance: Pompey's Pillar, 32 miles east on I-94 and Little Bighorn Battlefield, 67 miles southeast on I-90. Other than those, you're at the last city of any significant size before rolling out into the vast Eastern Montana prairie – the greatest attraction may be the scenery of the drive itself to your next destination.
