MAAH DAAH HEY TRAIL North Dakota Badlands This 96-mile multi-use Trail connects the South and North units of Theodore Roosevelt National Park through the rugged badlands and beautiful grasslands of North Dakota. The trail was once a principal trade route for the Native Americans and was used heavily during Indian battles on the plains. After decades of vision and planning it became a recreational trail in 1995. The name “Maah Daah Hey” comes from the Mandan Indians. It means “an area that has been or will be around for a long time”. The trail is marked by wooden posts branded with a turtle which is a symbol for determination, patience and fortitude. It is 100% singletrack. One can do the trail in sections or as a full point to point trip. There are many trailheads and campgrounds along the way. We had limited time so we did two sections that were recommended by locals. Buffalo Gap: Directions: From Medora drive west to Chimney Park on right. Park there.
Bike west on the bike path paralleling the Little Missouri River. Cross the
bridge and the trailhead will be on the left side of the road. It’s right
before the I-94 underpass.
