If you think that the concept of the cowboy was invented by John Wayne-types, Bismarck's North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame will challenge everything you think you know about cattle rustlers from the past. This attraction is an interpretive center for the history of Native Americans, and you will see the dramatic link between their culture to various “western” traditions like the rodeo, ranching, and the rustic “cowboy” lifestyle that owes much to the tribes that first inhabited the land.

The natural scenery in and around Bismarck can be described as rustic and expansive. To get a view of it all in a most spectacular way, take a trip to visit the Crow Flies High Scenic Overlook. This popular outdoor vantage point is a one of the area's most picturesque views in which miles of rolling prairie and majestic hills and rocks complement the wide open view of the sky in an unforgettably mesmerizing way.
