The two RV Gypsies found the Buckhorn Trail to be the most interesting area with the tilted mounds and Cannon Ball Concretions.

Oxbow Overlook. Here the Little Missouri River takes a hard turn to the east. The river originally continued north to Hudson Bay. During the most recent ice age, continental glaciers blocked its way, hence the turn.
