If enjoying the splendors of outdoor activities is your idea of a vacation, North Dakota offers two National Grasslands that provide outstanding hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities on opposite ends of the state. In the west, the Little Missouri National Grasslands include immense open prairies, high plains and badlands landscapes. In the east, the Sheyenne National Grasslands put you back in time, preserving native grasslands and sand hills in one of the last places where you can experience the diverse prairie as it was experienced by early Native Americans and the first European immigrants to settle here.
