    Blitzen and Doc
    Amy F.

    The trail guides and patient horses deserve 5 stars. My saddle was comfortable and adjusted well, as was my husbands. My husband is a horse trainer who has ridden all over the country, but I've never ridden anywhere that wasn't flat, so this was a treat. GO for the sweeping views of the area. It's the most wonderful way to see the country. BUT (and this has nothing to do with the business) IF YIU ARE SCARED OF HEIGHTS AND HORSES...please don't go. LOL. I'm sort of joking, but there was a woman in my group that was near screaming at any given moment, she'd never ridden and was on the fetal position almost the entire time. She held up the back of the group so often...it was annoying. I'm not mad about it, but it was just sort of cumbersome. That being said, the horses are DARLING and a guide rode parallel to the scaredy cat the entire time, comforted her, and helped her relax. By the time we were done, the lady WAS able to enjoy herself. My suggestion to avoid that situation is to cough up the cash for a private trail ride. If you're an experienced rider, it really is a good idea to pay the extra money to take the 2 hour ride with you and whomever is in your group. This is a wonderful group of people with EXCELLENT horses. (Mine had ridden the night before at Medora! The Musical!) Blitzen (my horse) was unshakeable. I offered to buy him on the spot! I need a horse like him at home. I can't wait to return and pony up for a private ride!

    North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame - Bad-a**

    I have to begin with the fact that I haven't had much experience with the cowboy culture and…read morerodeos, but visiting the museum was a great thing to do and I enjoyed it. It's a small-ish local museum so it won't take much time. You'll find artifacts dedicated to both cowboys and Native Americans which is great. I've learned a lot after my visit and it was worth the time and money. Lots of beautiful items being exhibited and you probably won't see such a big collection of artsy saddles anywhere! I'd recommend stopping here while you're visiting Theodore Roosevelt National park and the town of Medora.

This self-guided museum was the perfect place to stop before our journey into the actual park, and I really think it should be on your itinerary when in the area if it isn't already. It won't take a ton of time, maybe an hour or so to complete the three levels, but it's really worth it! The museum has a minimal fee for adults, free entrance for kiddos 7 and under, and free entrance for those 18 and under on Wednesdays and Sundays. Don't miss the short, but really informative documentary about the land here which was very interesting to see prior to heading out into it. The film speaks about Theodore Roosevelt's connection to the area and the battles which have taken place here. They even have saddle seats in the theater the kiddos loved! The kiddos ages 6 & 8 also loved riding the horses and dressing up like cowgirls! I loved tying them up in a lasso for a bit! Don't miss this section of you have wee ones with you! I really liked that this museum combines both Native American history and well as that of the cowboys. I loved the contrast of old and modern found in the exhibits here. There's amazing artifacts from the Native Americans such as moccasins, instruments, intricate beaded clothing, bear claw accessories, moccasins, arrowheads and more. There's also amazing detailed saddles, bad-a** guns, awards and metals from new rodeo stars, hats, belt buckles and more. We highly recommend a visit here for full understating and appreciation of the park. A few cool photo op items across the way like a giant buffalo skull the kids love playing in!

    Theodore Roosevelt National Park far exceeded my expectations in the best way possible! This…read moreNational Park is off the beaten path and well worth the visit. We only saw the North Unit on our visit so we will definitely have to visit more at a later date. While visiting I felt so at peace and love that it's not overcrowded like other National Parks and that you really feel surrounded by nature and wildlife. We enjoyed driving along the scenic path and soaking in the stunning views! We saw cannonball concretions, stunning views from the overlooks along the way, and saw lots of bison. There are lots of hiking trails to explore and we saw deer. We look forward to coming back and hopefully seeing wild horses and prairie dogs. The park is large with so much to see and do. An absolutely gorgeous place to visit that is so underrated! Highly recommend visiting this place!

The…read morelandscape is a perfect mix of rugged badlands, open prairie, and wide, peaceful views that feel untouched. It's the kind of place where you can pull over at almost any turnout and find something worth photographing. Wildlife was everywhere, bison wandering right along the road, prairie dogs popping in and out of their little towns, and even a few wild horses in the distance. What I appreciated most was how quiet and calm everything felt. Even with other visitors around, there's a sense of space that makes you feel like you have whole sections of the park to yourself. If you're anywhere near North Dakota, this place is absolutely worth the stop. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
