We stopped in Medora to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park and that worked out well .The south unit is right there and the north unit was a reasonable drive away. Since it was late in the season, some of the attractions and restaurants were closed. However, we did enjoy nice dinners at the Rough Riders Hotel and Boots. Nice town in North Dakota!

Be sure and visit the North Dakota Heritage Center and State Museum while in Bismarck. It's next to the state capitol building, so that's a place to see as well. The area is steeped in Indian history as well as Lewis & Clark's expedition at the beginning of the 19th century.

Beulah is a small town in coal country in the middle of western North Dakota. Most visitors are most likely associated with the coal companies and their employees. Beulah can be a great stop over for those wanting to check out the Garrison Dam and Lake Sakakawea for fishing. And for hunters, the area is filled with pheasants. Beualah is a relatively short drive from the airport in Bismarck (90 minutes) and there is enough restaurants to keep you satisfied for a short trip to the country.

Fargo is a great citiy weather for February was great, 53 the weekend I was there. Must see are the transformation that is being done in downtown with many small shops, restaurants , bars and of course the Fargo theater. The West Acres shopping area has just about everything you would be looking for. The 3 University's have activities going throughout the school year with the biggest campus North Dakota State university home of the Bison, 5 time FCS National Champion Bison who play in the FargoDome one of the loudest venues in college sports. The Scheels Center at the Shac is a great place to attend basketball ball game The people in Fargo are the friendliest people in the country who will make your visit to Fargo enjoyable. Check it out you may be surprised, if you can go during the Football season you won't be disappointed.

Minot with a population of 47,000 is the hub city for northwestern North Dakota. As such it serves the needs of its agricultural base along with the oil industry and the US Air Force due to the nearby Minot Air Force Base. Visitors to Minot enjoy our Scandinavian Heritage Park where they can see an old fashioned Scandinavian church replica which is called a stavkirche and many other items unique to Scandinavia such as the Swedish horse statue shown in the illustration. Minot's Roosevelt Park Zoo is a gem of smaller zoo and kids of all ages will enjoy seeing the animals there. And those people who have an enthusiasm for aviation or railroading will enjoy the Dakota Territory Air Museum and/or the Old Soo Depot Transportation Museum. To see big name entertainment and a chance to catch the true flavor of Minot be sure to visit the ND State Fairgrounds either during the State Fair held in late July OR Hostfest which is held every year in late September. It is best to use your own vehicle for transportation in Minot. There are city buses but they run limited routes only for daytime hours as a rule. That way you can avail yourself of the many eating places. Personal favorites include Homesteaders for tasty home style meals and The Starving Rooster provides a more trendy experience. Another fun dining experience can be had at ND Asia where they cook your asian food order right at your table. The brave souls are treated to a drink of sake squirted into their mouth by the chef. Otherwise you can find many of the widely known eatery names commonly found such as Perkins, Ground Round, Ruby Tuesday's, Dennys, McDonalds, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and so on. What would I avoid in Minot? ABout the only thing I can think of is not being warmly dressed during a winter blizzard in January. But we make up for it with our friendliness and wam hearts.

Fargo must be one of the fastest growing cities in North Dakota, and maybe even the continental United States. What stood out the most about West Fargo was all of the new and recent construction. In just a few short years it has changed from a rural city into a metropolitan area. Other than the seemingly daily prevailing wind Fargo would be a good place to live.

Minot is ok if you've never left North Dakota. Its better than Williston. Construction was a mess. Hopefully they'll be finished soon. Minot has some great things to do for a family or for adults. Its nice.

Fargo, Well Okay! Our daughter picked a great town to attend college. "North Dakota Nice" is a real thing and we've experienced on each our 3 trips. Looking forward to more visits.

Nice little town in North Dakota. Excellent dinosaur museum and a good walking tour of downtown. Great place to stay if your headed to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. And don't pass up the " Wurst Shop in Dickinson" for some great German food!

Been there many times, this was a bad road experience with weather, but it's North Dakota and never know what we will experience. Had a fabulous meal at Jacks.
