Leah moved to North Dakota when she was 12 years old and has traveled from the Red River Valley to the badlands and many places in between. She loves small-town life and currently enjoys living on a small farm in the ND prairie. She's always had a passion for writing and has participated in novel writing challenges such as NaNoWriMo multiple times. Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.
Although North Dakota isn’t usually considered an outdoor enthusiast’s top destination, it should be. The state parks alone consist of everything from huge lakes, quiet forests, and – of course – breathtaking badlands. Many people head to the state’s only national park for the latter, but Travel + Leisure named the Little Missouri State Park the best in the state for its amazing, rugged landscape that is without the amount of traffic the national park gets. It’s all the great parts of the other without the busyness – what more could you ask for?
Visit the park’s webpage or Facebook page for more information. Keep in mind that, unlike other year-round parks in North Dakota, the park is open seasonally from May to October.
