We spent a leisurely morning travelling south from Bismarck, North Dakota, on Hwy 1806 along the west side of the Missouri River. Contrary to the Great River Road along the Mississippi, which we biked in 2008, you can actually see the Missouri. The lower Mississippi is cloaked by 30 ft levies to prevent flooding.
The rolling gently winding road through the Standing Rock Sioux First Nation provided beautiful vistas of the meandering Missouri and countryside. The weather was perfect, the sun shone and we were beaming along with it. Even the grazing cattle looked happy......NO genetically modified corn for them!!!
