Little Missouri State Park Wind, water and sand... these components sculpted North Dakota's wildly rugged Little Missouri Break

Wind, water and sand... these components sculpted North Dakota's wildly rugged Little Missouri Breaks Country. Called "Mako Shika" or "where the land breaks" by the Sioux, these unusual land formations offer the state's most awe-inspiring scenery.

The views are waiting, and the trails are open! Come visit us yet this fall before we close for the season on Oct. 27.

The views are waiting, and the trails are open! Come visit us yet this fall before we close for the season on Oct. 27.

As the busyness of fall sets in, the season offers a reminder we don't always give ourselves: it's okay to let go, too.

Watch the leaves fall. Notice the birds heading south. Find a shoreline or sit atop the buttes and watch the sun set.

This fall, give yourself permission to step away and spend some time outdoors. There's room to slow down out here.

The badlands are calling! If you didn’t make it our way earlier this season, there’s still time for a western North Dakota getaway. The park will be open through October 31.

Step away from the full schedules, slow down and fill your lungs with fresh air. This is the year you make fall camping happen!
