A GOOD REASON TO GO

National Scenic Byway

In a state known for its flat horizons, a dip into a tree-speckled valley with snaking river and winding roadway is a welcome variation. Discover Native American, Viking, and pioneer lore. Explore 27 interpretive sites that include historic sites, trails, bridges, antiques, birds, and starry nights. Quaint towns and farmsteads lend charm to your journey.

Bales of hay like giant rolls sit drying in a hayfield on the Sheyenne River Valley Scenic Byway somewhere north of the Preston Church site.
