Although the words 'North Dakota' probably don't spring instantly to mind when you think 'vacation destination', maybe they should. This large state has so many attractions that you and your family could spend years exploring it in two-week spurts. In addition, the cost of spending time in ND is surprisingly affordable, so maybe it's time to plan a North Dakota vacation.
Although many people don't know much about ND, a little research will let you in on the secret. This large state has awesome scenery, exciting cities, absorbing museums, 63 wildlife refuges, renowned hunting and fishing areas, and many historic sites from earlier days - which are not all that far distant. You can visit a Las Vegas style casino with bright lights and live entertainment or wander through a ghost town. Talk about variety.
If you like shopping, North Dakota's cities have great downtown areas. Some casinos offer specialty shops as well as fine dining, luxury accommodations, live entertainment, and games of chance. ND is a great area for authentic Native American jewelry, rugs, and blankets.
If you are into scenery, almost nothing beats the Badlands. The barrens were a barrier to travelers, who gave it its name in many different languages. The tall, wind-tortured peaks and dramatic gorges are absolutely breathtaking in more ways than one; it's a real thrill driving through them, and the scenic overlooks give unforgettable vistas of the multicolored rocks. Hiking the trails and visiting the ghost towns will really give you a feel for the topography.
Photography is a thrill for visitors to ND. There's another reason besides the scenery. ND is right in the middle of the Central Flyway used by millions of migratory birds. June in ND is considered a must for serious birders. There are specially-marked drives and trails that give great opportunities to see many species that stop off in the wetlands of central ND. Some refuges have blinds so photographers can get close to feeding and mating birds.
Renting a cabin in a location near the attractions you are most intrigued by is a good way to accommodate the whole family at a reasonable cost. You can also go from one lodge resort to another, booking a cabin for a night's stay. Alternatives are camping sites, luxury hotels, and regular motels. Hiking, fishing, hunting, cycling, canoeing, and hunting for fossils are just some of the outdoor activities that draw people to ND.
There are attractively-priced vacation packages, especially good if you haven't visited this area before. They include accommodations and some meals, as well as access to major attractions and activities. Even golf is affordable in this state.
If you've done the cruise ships and the beaches and want a change of pace, consider heading to ND, where the wild west is still to be found, history is close enough to touch, and you can have all the modern conveniences anytime you want. The 39th (or maybe 40th;the records are not clear) state is a wonderful destination.
