M B J O H N S O N PA R K "I love this park because it feels like an escape from the city. Thanks to the amazing volunteers, the trails stay well-maintained, even throughout the winter. You can hike, bike, run, and ski, and many of the trails are wide enough for a stroller."

G O O S E B E R R Y PA R K TO L I N D E N W O O D "I live in Moorhead, so I love starting a run or bike at Gooseberry—the mountain bike trails are so fun—and looping over to Lindenwood. Sometimes I'll go into the park and other times I'll head north to the dike. We have so many beautiful trail options."

S H E Y E N N E N AT I O N A L G R A S S L A N D S "This is a little outside of the city, but worth the hour drive. I can't believe I grew up here and had no idea this gorgeous place existed. There are incredible hiking and mountain biking trails, and a few basic campsites. The landscape is spectacular!"

DETROIT MOUNTAIN
"Also a little outside of Fargo, Detroit Mountain is about 45 minutes from the city and an absolute gem in the region. The little mountain offers year-round activities from downhill skiing and cross-country skiing, to hiking and mountain biking in the summer. Coming from the rugged mountain biking trails of Montana, I wasn't sure what Minnesota could offer, but let me tell you: these trails are legit. They were designed by experts flown in from out of state and they are so fun! Bring your own gear or rent it at the mountain." Visit Fargo-Moorhead
