From Medora, ND (70 mi): Take I-94 E to Exit 72 near Gladstone, then head south on the Enchanted Highway (County Road 21) to Regent.

The Enchanted Highway is a whimsical and awe-inspiring roadside attraction in western North Dakota, featuring a series of colossal metal sculptures created by artist Gary Greff. Stretching 32 miles from Gladstone to Regent, each sculpture—ranging from giant grasshoppers to a towering tin family—offers a unique photo opportunity and a celebration of rural Americana. The drive is dotted with parking areas and kiosks, making it easy for travelers to stop and admire the artistry up close.

This one-of-a-kind experience culminates in Regent, where visitors can explore a gift shop and even stay at the Enchanted Castle, a themed motel. The Enchanted Highway is more than a scenic drive—it's a testament to creativity, community pride, and the power of public art to transform a landscape into a destination.
