There is a North and South Unit. Both are worth seeing. You can't mountain bike in the park but you can around and inbetween them. Go hiking in the petrified forest as well. Take a camera. You need to take your water with you for camping. Leave a Comment Address: Medora, ND

 Mandan Earthen Lodge by pipsqueak
It has 4 of the earthen lodges reconstucted. At one time there were around 80 lodges at the site. Each one has a different interior, and gives you an idea of the ingenuity of the Native Mandan people. There was room inside for the horses, which helped keep the lodge warm.
If you are following the Lewis and Clark trail, I think this is a better stop than the Knife River Indian Village near Stanton. Leave a Comment

Fargo has about 90,000 people, making it the second largest city in North Dakota. Fargo was founded in 1871 and was named after William Fargo of Well Fargo bank fame. Most of the city residents of of either German or Norwegian decent, and it has very low crime rates and unemployment rates. Fargo is home to North Dakota State University.
The 1996 movie Fargo, about a kidnapping plot gone awry, begins in Fargo. Most of the world outside of North Dakota didn't know Fargo existed before the movie. Now we can even talk like locals. Leave a Comment

The Enchanted Highway is roadside art made of scrap metal such as copper pipes and old petrolium tanks. It is the work of one man who wanted to draw travelers the 32 miles from I-94 to his hometown of Regent, ND. Since 1989 he has created seven of these scultures: The Tin Family was erected in 1991; Teddy Rides Again in 1993; Pheasants on the Prairie in 1996; Grasshoppers in the Field in 1999; Geese in Flight in 2001; Deer Crossing in 2002; and Fisherman's Dream 2006. Pheasants on the Prairie is visible from I-94, and at the time of completion it made the Guinness Book of World Records for largest scrap metal sculpture in the world. Leave a Comment

Rural North Dakota has a harsh climate that has been hard on settlers since they first arrived. After the American Indians were forcibly removed from much of the area, settler began to arrive, especially after the railroads found their way into North Dakota in the early 1900s. The Great Depression caused farms to falter and fail, then larger farms began to take over small family farms and towns began to dwindle and die off. Many area of North Dakota are littered with abandoned houses and barns. Even today few tourists venture into this cold and windswept state.
But it is not a desolate as it seems. Remember, Theodore Roosevelt chose rural North Dakota as his personal retreat. The badlands have a beauty full of color and shape, and the wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see. Pheasant hunting is perhaps the most popular pastime, when the farming is finished that is.
North Dakota has wind and lots of it. It is ranked first out of the 50 US states in terms of potential wind power available. Unfortunately it only ranks about 13th in actual wind power produced, just ahead of Pennsylvania, a state with a minuscule amount of potential wind power available. Leave a Comment
