The things that make a place special, for different individuals, vary as much as the individuals themselves. For me, natural beauty, hiking and biking trails and a certain level of solitude create an unforgettable environment. Little Missouri State Park and Theodore Roosevelt National Park (North Unit) are two such places. In addition, the Maah Daah Hey Trail, (the longest single track mountain bike trail in the US), located between the two, completes my criteria for an area bordering on “perfection”. When we started this trip North Dakota was a state to get through to Montana. Now it’s become a place that will be very hard to leave. We extended our stay for a couple more days to enjoy near perfect temps (highs in the 70’s and lows in the 50’s) and because we’ve just scratched the surface of all the things to do here. Maah Daah Hey is a Native American phrase meaning “an area that will be around for a long time.” I certainly hope that is true!
