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 Lewis and Clark Trail in Bismarck is one of the area's most popular outdoor treks for road bikers. It stretches 87 miles from Bismarck to Pick City. Cyclists enjoy this well-maintained recreational trail that features a moderate degree of difficulty. The elevation gain is minimal, so that assures a somewhat comfortable ride for those who choose to experience part of the trail, but for those making the full trip, stamina and focus along physical agility are most definitely required.
