NoDak Northern Tier Adventure Takeaways
Folks, North Dakota is worth the trip!
When checking a bike, pay attention to all the vulnerable parts that jut out and don’t shirk the corner padding
Wild bison are worth seeing in person, but don’t expect them to get out of your way
TR NP is an excellent place to bike, but be aware that bison can and do come into the roadway and might scuttle your riding plans
The northern tier route is a good place if you want solitude
Bike adventures can mean a lot of things
Our national parks are treasures worth protecting, but so are our state parks and other public lands
