The Enchanted Highway

We left Medora today and headed east to Bismarck, ND.  Along the way we took a little side trip on the "Enchanted Highway".  When the interstate highway diverted much of the traffic away from  the town of Regent, ND, a local artist devised the idea of giant scrap metal artwork to lure travelers off the interstate and to the small town.  Stretching 32 miles south of interstate 94 to Regent are several extremely large pieces of artwork several stories tall. The road takes you through rolling hills and lots of grassland.  The only break to this rural scenery is a giant sculpture every few miles.  Check out the artwork below.  That very small figure standing in front of the grasshopper is Dave.


On the right side of this photo of a fishing scene is a field of corn about 5 feet tall.




To give you an idea of size, I am standing on the feet of one of the pheasants and there is an RV parked on the road.

  1. We drove the Enchanted Highway and we were definitely enchanted by it. Amazing what you can find out in the middle of no where.
