Tdawg40sw Says: The Maah Daah Hey trail is supposed to be one of the best mountain biking trails in the United States. The trail is dirt and in some places, very rutted. The trail is also used by hikers and horseback riders. The trail runs from the north unit of the Theodore Roosevelt...

bently1 Says: hiking the back trails or take a horseback trip through the nice trails they have provided.By way of horseback you kind of feel like you have stepped back in time to the old west.However,hiking is great as well but have good hiking shoes and lots of water.

Badlands Motel: Old Town Medora
photochaser Says: Nice room, 2 double beds with air conditioning or heater (depending on the time of year) The shower is the cool thing in the room. The bathroom is normal, but the shower is a curved cylinder that you walk into with no door! It is completely private from the rest of the...

Tdawg40sw Says: There are rattlesnakes present. Be aware, especially when in the national park or on the trails outside of town. I worked in Medora for 4 months in the summer, and spent much of the next summer in Medora as well. I never saw a rattlesnake, but they are there.
Authentic Old West - no law enforcement
NoDakDude Says: I camped overnight at Sulley's Creek. About sunset a group of local youth set up in the next camp about 50 yards away. They had a loud party until about 2AM when I yelled at them to quiet down. They were so drunk that they couldn't whisper, and I overheard their plans to...

when on your siteseeeing tour of the park there are all kinds of roads off of the main roads.Some are paved but most are gravel,but when you do take these off roads you will see all kinds of wildlife and plant life and a few little extras.

The 100-mile trail runs from The North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park to the South Unit of the Park near Medora, North Dakota.
Dakota Cyclery, pictured here, provides a shuttle service (for a small fee) and takes you out for either a 19-mile or a 29-mile ride back to Medora. I will post some pictures of the trail too.
Equipment: Bike, obviously. Water in bottles or camelbak. sunscreen, bugspray and food. The trail goes through the middle of nowhere, so if you don't have it with you, you sure ain't gonna find it out there.

Medora--something for everyone
