as far as a recommendation, i'd say on the western side of the state, visit medora and the "painted canyon." this was one of president theordore roosevelt's favorite places in the united states. see:

if you ever look in the grocery store for "buffalo," chances are it was raised in north dakota.
and there is excellent pheasant hunting throughout the state. my dad still has a large farm there that has been in our family since the homestead act in the 1800's.
please let me know if you have any questions about either north or south dakota. i still have relatives in both states.
