Biking in North Dakota

From the Missouri River, as it carves its course through the center of the Dakotas, effectively dividing east from west, to the badlands and rugged hills of the west, there is an undeniable wildness and majesty to this vast landscape that is the western Dakotas. Over 200 years have passed since the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery traveled through this region in search of an all-water route across the continent. That route, of course, was not to be found, but the expedition opened the west to the tide of settlement that followed. It began with prospectors, farmers, ranchers, merchants and traders, all headed westward to seek their fortunes. Two centuries later, Urban America is very much a western reality. But not so in the Dakotas, which, for better or worse, has clung to its rural character.

Unpopulated and unhurried, a pace of life to be envied in a land that is ruggedly beautiful - this is the western Dakotas, North and South, that we fell in love with in the course of our Lewis and Clark Odyssey in 2004, and again in the context of Odyssey 2006: Lewis and Clark in the Dakotas. Dakota Dreamin' is our way of expressing how we feel about the Dakotas as an exciting bicycle touring opportunity.
