As is usually the case we had far too little time in this great state! These were our top 5, but we know North Dakota has much more to offer! What are your favorite ND places to visit?
I traveled all through North Dakota in 2019. Some of my favorite places was the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown. Another place is the Devils Lake area and the Enchantment Highway
You should take a trip to the turtle mts in north dakota and the peace gardens a garden that sits in both USA and Canada a 1 of a kind garden no other 2 countries in the world have this
The cabin that my mother was born in is in the northern unit. I spent my summers in the western part of North Dakota on the farm south of Arnegard. I cherish all of the memories and out of all of the places I've lived, North Dakota is my favorite. Moved back in 2014!
@Jay Alexander its definitely been a change, but its beautiful up here! Everyone has been so nice, and ive never in my life received this much help in a move. Most people in the area just gave us free stuff that we needed on facebook marketplace. Its been pretty great so far!
This video made me cry 🥲 I just feel so strongly about moving here from Maine to start a new life, been researching like crazy and just being where I am now I feel that I'm really missing out in the world, you guys have bison and wild horses! That's amazing, wild horses are kinda rare nowadays aren't they? I so badly want to be there right now exploring my new home but I gotta wait 6 more months to save up as much as I can for the big move. I'm so excited to live there and to see all that North Dakota has to offer! I plan to move to Fargo so not sure how far some of these places in the video are to it but I wrote it all down to explore later on when I get there! Thank you so much for making this video and I can't wait to explore it too!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it. Fargo is about 5 hours from these locations. It is a good place though, we went through there often when we were staying in Minnesota. Best of luck to you on your move!
You have to be adaptable to live here. Brutal hot summers, -40+ winters, high winds, and dangerous storms. Lived here all of my 45 years. Visited other places and always want to come back home. Quite peaceful here and "North Dakota nice" is a phrase for a reason. There's more to do on the east side, but it's flat and a higher crime rate. What little crime we have. The west side (where I live) is less populous, but more scenic.
Oh, and Fargo is about as far as you can get from some of these places. About 4 hours from Fort Lincoln and 6 hours from Medora. 7 hours to the North Unit.
Just some pretty cool things to do on the western side of the state. There’s also seeing the nature park just outside of Devils Lake, ND. It kinda has the same feel as Teddy National Park, just smaller.
I lived there almost 2yrs I loved it clean, not over crowded. Go to pitch fork steak fondue. The wild life is just amazing i truly miss it, stuck in florida
Haha I'm from Miami. Extremely beautiful there I love it. Moved to Dever for a year.. loved it. Currently living in Portland OR. Oregon is just breathtakingly beautiful. Did not think I'd ever say that I can call OR my permanent home.
Other better states to see.nprth dakota is boring and nothing to really they have those road side attractions that's it.south dakota is alot better if your gonna visit one of the dakota's visit south dakota.
Having BTDT when 'Growing Up In Mandan (GUIM)', I appreciate this excellent production of some great scenery and historical artifacts of my experience.
This is great - I used to live in North Idaho, and I've made a lot of trips east - skipping ND every time. The extent of my experience there was on the Empire Builder during a stopover in Minot while I was filming that video.
I am soooo glad you had a chance to take your family out to Medora! Isn't it great!? I think I got out there right before you did - and I was in agreement with all your top 5 - North Dakota is a surprising state!
Love your video. We already have a home in North Dakota and will be moving there soon. Can't wait to visit all these places mentioned, as well as ones from the comments.
There are some fun things to do there, but don’t forget to tell people to avoid going in winter. It gets extremely cold, and with wind chills reaching negative 60 plus ( Fahrenheit) it gets dangerous fast.
Swim i lived in Scotland and the weather there is a fair bit warmer, but swimming in the Lochs [Lakes] are freezing even in summer, so dear knows how one would want to swim in ND.
This is old info from when I was a kid but it's probably somewhat reflective today, though heavy toward "other": 45% were Germans, and 40% were Norwegian; the rest were Polish, French, UK, Eastern European AND Irish, especially in western Pembina County. (Sweden was noticably represented, but most who came over stayed behind in Minnesota.) As for the Irish, it seems you can't quench your thirst in the state without running into one. A visitor once wrote home to Boston that N.D. "is a strange place, the rivers run north and the Irish vote Republican." The fine video covered only western N.D. On my list a!so would be: Lake Sakakawea, Turtle Mountains and Peace Garden, Pembina Gorge, Fort Ransom and the Shyenne River, Devils Lake aka Spirit Lake, Kildeer Mountains, Red River of the North and the Little Missouri River. (For most of these destinations, don't just go there, N.D. doesn't have a Gettysburg or Cooperstown, N.Y. Go online etc. for info, set your objective, and arrive with a plan.)
FYI. The observations above might seem out of place. I meant to reply to Anthony m's question below about Irish in N.D., but my remarks ended up here in the Comments section. I liked the video and am impressed by all the good suggestions other NoDakkers have posted.
As a lifelong ND resident, I’d judge that the T R National Park north unit has little to nothing extra to offer over the south unit. You won’t miss much.
I live in Norway and I know there is many americans of Norwegian heritage in this state. Wonder if there are any chances to move there and work. Is it easy to get a Green card nowadays ?
@treyray2 0 seconds ago I’m not sayin’ you’re wrong. But everything listed as a Top 5…is located in basically ithe same area of a big, vast state. How about a UND hockey game in Grand Forks or NDSU Bison Football game in Fargo Fishing at Devils Lake???? That said my daughter lives close to where you were, Watford City. It is a beautiful area that many people miss out on. Kids can learn some history. Very Enjoyable.
Christopher Christopher Christopher my Brother. How do you move from Temecula Wine Country by San Diego and not far from the Mountains to North Dekota?
@@OurMillionAdventures Turtle river state park is a beautiful place, makes for a great hiking trip and a solid adventure. That's one of my favorite popular hiking spots.
Spend a couple of days in Bismarck/Mandan. Heritage Museum, State capitol building, Buckstop Junction, Ft Abraham Lincoln, even the ND Veteran Cemetery is interesting!
Good question. Really depends how much you want to explore the National park. You can see and explore the town in a day, it's pretty small. We spent two days to explore the town and the park, I would have preferred three.
Hi, this is the Korean TV station tvN Naked World History Team. We would like to use this video as a broadcast material for the oil war episode scheduled to be aired on August 2nd. Is it possible?
Best five things: 1 get cold ears 2 play in snow 3 go into ditch on a windy day 4 get hypothermia 5 wear a lot of snow clothes but still get cold Edit: this is the just the bad stuff North Dakota is a very nice state Just saying you should go to North Dakota in the summer Edit 2: it’s rare to get hypothermia once you get used to the cold

The North Dakota Winter Show in Valley City.

The tree is a cottonwood
1. Breathe air
2. Exist
3. Consume sustenance
4. Look at grass
5. Look at sky
Boom, 5 easy.
I must say, I'm proud to say I'm from North Dakota.Very beautiful presentation. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment! It's a great state!
I'm not from North Dakota, but I am proud to call it home for 5 years!
Very nice up there! Second best state!
I traveled all through North Dakota in 2019. Some of my favorite places was the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown. Another place is the Devils Lake area and the Enchantment Highway
Top thing I miss is North Dakota blue skies, puffy clouds and beautiful sunsets. Thanks for the video!
You should take a trip to the turtle mts in north dakota and the peace gardens a garden that sits in both USA and Canada a 1 of a kind garden no other 2 countries in the world have this

The most underrated of all US States
Agreed!
Something ND has that most of the east doesn't is dark sky. The milky way is phenomenal there.
Not nearly as dark or nice as it was 40 years ago ... but yes, still nice.
If I ever want to disappear I'll disappear here
Im leaving west virginia, and moving to north dakota in 3 days! Really excited to disappear somewhere new!
@Jay Alexander its definitely been a change, but its beautiful up here! Everyone has been so nice, and ive never in my life received this much help in a move. Most people in the area just gave us free stuff that we needed on facebook marketplace. Its been pretty great so far!

@@isaacdavis1936 I've been looking into it myself! That is definitely good to hear! Thank you!
@@isaacdavis1936 which part of North Dakota did you move to?
I was born and raised in Dickinson North Dakota! I will probably never leave!!
Ha Dick in Son 😂😂😂😂
I love the big town of Minot. So pretty and clean.

Love the four places. I will add the International Peace Garden. Will be moving to ND soon. Excited!!
Great addition to the list!
I lived there almost 2yrs I loved it clean, not over crowded. Go to pitch fork steak fondue. The wild life is just amazing i truly miss it, stuck in florida
There are awesome things to do anywhere if you look. Florida is great as well. Get out to the ocean and enjoy.
Haha I'm from Miami. Extremely beautiful there I love it. Moved to Dever for a year.. loved it. Currently living in Portland OR. Oregon is just breathtakingly beautiful. Did not think I'd ever say that I can call OR my permanent home.
Thanks for this list. I learned some new things and am excited to plan a trip with two kids there next summer.
You're welcome, glad it was useful!
As a Brit ND is on my bucket list
Other better states to see.nprth dakota is boring and nothing to really they have those road side attractions that's it.south dakota is alot better if your gonna visit one of the dakota's visit south dakota.
@@jeffwinters3808 If I get there I may as well see both
The Whites that settled ND created such a nice place. Thank you for touring it.

This was a fantastic video…well done and so informative! ND is definitely on our list of vacation destinations! Hank you for sharing.
I am soooo glad you had a chance to take your family out to Medora! Isn't it great!? I think I got out there right before you did - and I was in agreement with all your top 5 - North Dakota is a surprising state!
It's great! I wish we had had more time to explore. You've put out some good videos covering other things we didn't get to.
I loved fort Lincoln
I heard ND gets hammered by snow
NIcely done!
Love your video. We already have a home in North Dakota and will be moving there soon. Can't wait to visit all these places mentioned, as well as ones from the comments.
Our family were from the Turtle Mountain area. Not far from the Peace Gardens.
Enjoyed your video. You seem like a happy family- love those kids' sweet smiles! Keep up the good work!
Well, come back and visit again. Make sure to see Lake Sakakawea, and the Peace Gardens next time.
North Dakota is a very special and relatable state
There are some fun things to do there, but don’t forget to tell people to avoid going in winter. It gets extremely cold, and with wind chills reaching negative 60 plus ( Fahrenheit) it gets dangerous fast.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventure
Moving in a few months from Puerto Rico. Winter is Coming. 😅
Great format.
Most of us just drink alot.
What a great video! I've always wondered what's there and the parts that you showed look spectacular. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys should stop by Crosby , ND in July for the annual Threshing Bee . Its during the 3rd week in July and a awesome event .
Thanks for the recommendation!
Great Video👍 - thanks; an really a wonderful state!
Thanks for watching 😁
Love North Dakota ! Wouldn’t live anywhere else!
Can't wait to visit this place ...I love it
You should! North Dakota is great!
My experience in north Dakota was at Minot AFB. In January wouldn't recommend going there that Time of the year.
Unless you love winter! 😃
Only the best go north.
مرحبا مع تحياتي لك من ليبيا 🤝بلد جميل ورائع 👍اشكرك على اهتمامك مع تحياتي لكم 💐
شكرا للمشاهدة
Great video, am intrigued seen it on Irish TV as the only American state with no Irish person!
It is a pretty empty state, there aren't a lot of people from any nationality actually... It is very beautiful though. Thanks for watching!
You should go to turtle river in the summer you can swim,bike,hike, and camp
Swim i lived in Scotland and the weather there is a fair bit warmer, but swimming in the Lochs [Lakes] are freezing even in summer, so dear knows how one would want to swim in ND.
Great job nice video
Thanks!
Turtle Mountains, International Peace Gardens, International Peace Gardens Music camp and festival all near Bottineau ND.🧐
Looks like a place to visit
definitely worthwile!
…and to live.
This is old info from when I was a kid but it's probably somewhat reflective today, though heavy toward "other": 45% were Germans, and 40% were Norwegian; the rest were Polish, French, UK, Eastern European AND Irish, especially in western Pembina County.

Great comment and recommendations! I love hearing about the interesting ethnic makeup of the state! Thanks
You completely forgot to include-what percentage were/are the Native Americans? Sounds about white...
Nice presentation ! Heading there next month, visiting everyplace on your video except the north unit of T. R. State Park.
As a lifelong ND resident, I’d judge that the T R National Park north unit has little to nothing extra to offer over the south unit. You won’t miss much.
@@fightman49 Thanks !
@@villanovakid84 👍
Going in September thanks
Enjoy!
Hope i can live in north dakota one day
I would never think to visit North Dakota, but it looks really cool! Awesome video!
I know right? It is actually pretty cool. We were impressed.
Don't Go.
Check out the International Peace Garden on the ND. Manitoba border.
Thanks for the recommendation!
excellent video, excellent content !!
Much appreciated!
Awesome
I live in Norway and I know there is many americans of Norwegian heritage in this state. Wonder if there are any chances to move there and work. Is it easy to get a Green card nowadays ?

I’m not sayin’ you’re wrong. But everything listed as a Top 5…is located in basically
ithe same area of a big, vast state.
How about a UND hockey game in Grand Forks
or NDSU Bison Football game in Fargo
Fishing at Devils Lake????
That said my daughter lives close to where you were, Watford City. It is a beautiful area that many people miss out on. Kids can learn some history. Very Enjoyable.

Christopher Christopher Christopher my Brother. How do you move from Temecula Wine Country by San Diego and not far from the Mountains to North Dekota?
North Dakota is the best state in the nation.
I was pleasantly surprised. It really is a gem isn't it!
This is a place that i want move here, as US citizen 😭
Follow the weather there. Just a heads up. Enjoy. Winter last a long, long ,long time.
One day I'll visit North Dakota Medora in GOD Grace...
Peace gardens
Good content, however the audio voice dub was weak in amplitude.
Thanks for the feedback. Always looking to improve!
Greetings from the small Hamlet of Mekinock, North Dakota.
Thanks for watching! Anymore places we should know about in North Dakota?
@@OurMillionAdventures Turtle river state park is a beautiful place, makes for a great hiking trip and a solid adventure. That's one of my favorite popular hiking spots.
But I do want to visit the parks
The parks are definitely worth a trip.
I want to by some land in Dakota and grow hemp and sunflowers. I dream of being a good farmer....
And it snows in North Dakota
International Peace Gardens.
You should visit the North Dakota State Museum.
What part of the state is that in?
In Bismarck. The state Capital
Spend a couple of days in Bismarck/Mandan. Heritage Museum, State capitol building, Buckstop Junction, Ft Abraham Lincoln, even the ND Veteran Cemetery is interesting!
Getting drunk seems to be one of the top things in North Dakota to do since so many do it,
There is only one thing to do.. Leave before it gets 50 below for days on end..
Forty below keeps the riff-raff out.
6. Go to a North Dakota State football game Fargo the North Dakota dome....
How long do you recommend to stay in Medora? We are planning a trip later this summer (just the parents!)
Good question. Really depends how much you want to explore the National park. You can see and explore the town in a day, it's pretty small. We spent two days to explore the town and the park, I would have preferred three.
There is also a very nice golf course there. Take a day for that

The top 5 are Freeze , Freeze , Freeze ,Freeze and Thaw
Top 5 for me personally would be
1: Leave

Best five things: 1 get cold ears
2 play in snow
3 go into ditch on a windy day
4 get hypothermia
5 wear a lot of snow clothes but still get cold
Edit: this is the just the bad stuff North Dakota is a very nice state
Just saying you should go to North Dakota in the summer

Also it’s very rare to get hypothermia
There are 5 (FIVE) things to do in North Dakota???
