North Dakota Vacations Ideas

The Enchanted Highway is famous for its displays off giant farm-country-inspired metal sculptures by resident Gary Greff. The claim is that they are the largest metal sculpture in the world and who’s to argue. They are huge and spread out along the 32 mile-long highway that runs from the town of Regent up to Exit 72 of Interstate 94.

For wildlife viewing and bird watching, head to the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge Scenic Backway. It’s up along the border of Canada and runs for 19 miles through some beautiful wooded and hilly North Dakota landscapes. Raptors, deer, moose, grebes and snow geese are among the many animals in the area. Hiking trails can be found along the route.

Turtle Mountain Scenic Byway is also found along the Canadian border. Take in the beautiful views of the primal North Dakota plains and mountains as the 53-mile long drive takes you up and then down Turtle Mountain. Take Highway 43 and while you are there, stop in and see the horticultural wonders at the International Peace Gardens near Dunseith.
