Badlands Conservation Alliance is hosting an outing to western North Dakota on Saturday, April 27th, 2024 to celebrate Earth Day. We'll hike 5.5 miles of the Maah Daah Hey Trail in the Little Missouri National Grassland. BCA Executive Director Shannon Straight will be guiding the hike and providing background on the conservation initiatives in the area.
We'll meet at Chimney Park in Medora, ND at 9:00 AM MDT on April 27th, and we'll leave Chimney Park together at 9:15 AM MDT. At the conclusion of the hike, Dakota Cyclery will provide a shuttle from Coal Creek to return participants back to their vehicles. The hike from Plumely Draw to Coal Creek is moderately strenuous and will last three to four hours.
Hikers must bring their own food, water, sunscreen, first-aid supplies, and other gear. Hiking shoes or boots are required. No potable water is available on the trail. Dogs are allowed on the portion of the Maah Daah Hey Trail the group will be hiking. Dogs must be on a leash in developed areas, including the trailheads for Coal Creek and Plumely Draw. Please be aware that this trail is shared with horses. This is a section of non-motorized US Forest Service land. Badlands Conservation Alliance members and non-members are encouraged to join us for the hike. The event is free and open to the public, and there is no fee required to hike on this section of the Little Missouri National Grassland.
"It's a beautiful hike," says Shannon Straight. "It's not intimidating, but it is the Badlands, and it's a glorious place to hike. Please come join us."

Children can meet their favorite Snow White characters while enjoying plenty of sweets, storytime, a visit from Snow White herself, a backstage tour, priority seating, and lots of autograph and photo opportunities with Snow White characters. There are a limited number of tickets available, so get your tickets before they sell out!
Don't forget your tickets to Snow White (sold separately)
Who’s the ‘fairest of them all?’ Find out when Northern Plains Dance brings to life the legendary fairy tale of Snow White, who is caught between good and evil. A classic fairy tale full of curses and poisoned apples by The Brothers Grimm in an enchanting production that will delight every member of the family. Forced by the wicked will of her stepmother, Snow White ventures in to the wilderness to live with seven oddball characters - who whistle while they work. The magic of her life unfolds enchantingly on stage as Snow White's kindness and compassion is gifted with her heart's wish, to live happily ever after.
Northern Plains Dance welcomes children and families to experience the magic of dance during our performances at the Belle Mehus City Auditorium. While parents should use their discretion based on the maturity level of their children, NPD recommends that children be at least 3 years of age to attend our performances. In determining if your child should attend, it is important to know the child must be able to sit quietly and not disrupt the performance for other patrons. If a child becomes disruptive during a performance, the front of house staff will require the child and accompanying adult to leave the auditorium without refund of the ticket purchase.
Tickets held at will call will be available one hour prior to performances in the atrium of the Belle Mehus Auditorium.
