North Dakota is a midwestern U.S. state dominated by the Great Plains. Its eastern city of Fargo showcases Native American and modern art at the Plains Art Museum. The area’s immigrant history is honored at the Scandinavian Heritage Association in the city of Minot. The Great Plains give way to the rugged Badlands near the border with Montana, where Theodore Roosevelt National Park spans the Little Missouri River.
Things To Do
The Enchanted Highway
It begins at Exit 72 on I-94 near Gladstone and terminates 32 miles down the road in the small town of Regent.
A 30-mile stretch of roadway, the Enchanted Highway is North Dakota’s most unique attraction. Local artist Gary Greff began building the large scrap metal structures in 1989 and plans to continue adding to the collection. The Enchanted Highway begins with “Geese in Flight” on exit 72 near Gladstone and continues until “Tin Family” near Regent. In the middle, you will find “Deer Hopping,” “Grasshoppers,” “Fisherman’s Dream,” “Pheasants on the Prairie,” and “Teddy Roosevelt Rides Again.”

Famous Wood Chipper from the movie “Fargo”
In 1996, the Coen brothers put the city of Fargo on the map when they released the cult-hit “Fargo.” One of the movie’s most infamous scenes involves a wood chipper, which is now on display at the Fargo-Moorhead Visitor’s Center. Grab a fake leg, don a movie-style fur cap, and take advantage of a photo op like no other.
