Take This Drive To Nowhere In North Dakota To Get Away From It All

If you need time to unwind and just enjoy the calming sights, a scenic drive may be a good option. North Dakota has a seemingly endless span of land to explore and plenty of roads to do so on. Some of them may be a little out of the way and heading to nowhere, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t make a great scenic route. The Rendezvous Region Scenic Backway is a perfect example.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

The Rendezvous Region Scenic Backway is a beautiful drive through the windy roads, hills, and dense trees of the Pembina river valley.

It starts from Walhalla, North Dakota and goes for 11.5 miles and onwards to seemingly nowhere.

The route will take you across the Pembina Gorge and the accompanying river. The sights of this place are absolutely breathtaking.

Not only will this road take you to the panoramic views, it also comes across points of interest and recreation such as the Frost Fire Mountain. Love skiing? Stop by there while taking the drive!

The Gingras Trading Post - one of the oldest structures built in the entire state of North Dakota - is also along the Rendezvous Region Scenic Backway. This place is free to visit and full of history.

Whether the drive is to see the sights or just to relax your mind behind the wheel, you'll certainly love exploring this beautiful part of North Dakota.

To take the drive, start in Walhalla, North Dakota and head west on US Highway 55. For more information, follow this link to the Walhalla website that has everything you need to know about the area.

This is one of the Peace Garden State’s many great scenic drives. There are plenty more where this came from, and you can read about them right here.
