Cow Trails are The New Hiking Trails In North Dakota

Cow Trails, do you know what they are? Have you traveled down the path least taken... by humans that is? Think you've hiked, trekked, and traveled every trail in North Dakota; We would disagree! And do we have a NEW challenge... Take On The Cow Trails! Dodge the cow patties and be prepared for a narrow dirt path as you are guaranteed to travel places that few humans other than critters have frequented.

Avoid The Pavement And City Lights

There is a place for the manicured trails, close to our homes or at historical destinations for example, but once you've experienced those do not give up yet! Be prepared to turn on your phone's tracking and see how far you can go! This is how you get into the real backcountry of North Dakota!

Naturally Organically Roaming

Cow Trails created by those roaming cattle are nature's own way of showing us how herd animals over time have their own sixth sense. From cattle to deer, these animals create through our beautiful countryside pathways across hills, prairies, and crossing the rivers or streams. These animals' internalized satellite GPS would be marketed by Garmin and Mapquest if possible; who knows maybe that technology will be harnassed someday!

Deep Cut

The cow trails may be new to you but be assured that they are definitely NOT new. These paths will be narrow, cut deep from continuous use over time by cattle to horses to sheep to even deer that like water, naturally followed the path of least resilience! So the challenge is on, though you must always ask for permission if venturing on posted or private land, take on the Cow Trails of North Dakota, and experience what few have.
