The Dakotas and Montana are filled with wide-open spaces where the buffalo still roam. Hear about these majestic mammals while we travel the Badlands of North and South Dakota, see the four presidents carved into Mount Rushmore, and tour the majestic mountains of Glacier National Park. Learn about legendary figures of the western frontier like Lewis and Clark, Theodore Roosevelt, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull.
