It’s a giant cow in the middle of nowhere. Obviously it was great.
Nice stop between Bismarck and Medora. No bathrooms at the cow's location, but a great view! (Two gas stations right off highway for potty/refreshments)
Awesome!! 3 kids 5 and under and they loved it!! Do the 10 min hike up the hill for the view and oxygen!!
What a fun stop. She is large and in charge on top of a hill with a great view of the surrounding countryside and surprisingly popular, so you may have to wait a few minutes for a photo opportunity.
Pretty awesome and huge!!!! The little trail gives a beautiful view as well and isn't hard at all!!
1 minute off freeway to dirt road, then a mile or less up road to top of hill. They ask for a $1 donation per car for upkeep - it's worth it and it is really, really big
I love that cow.
worth stop! Great view!!
Just looked at it passing by on the interstate! Worth a look
This was actually more amazing than we expected. Stopped just as reason to get out of the car. The view was amazing.
