It's an astonishingly wonderful place, full of friendly folks, incredible hiking trails, stunning state and national parks... the list goes on for seemingly ever. One of the most underrated aspects of living in or visiting North Dakota is our incredible sunsets.

Is there anything more beautiful than a sunset? If you ask me, the only answer is "a New Jersey sunset."
