Helpful hints on "How to use this guide" while planning your legendary trip to North Dakota. We have divided the state into three regions: Western, Central and Eastern. These regions have been color coded, as shown on the map on the back inside cover of this guide, to help you find attractions, accommodations, events and much more. You will see a small color-coded map of the regions in the legend in the What To Do section, beginning on page 52. A colored box is also placed next to each city within the What To Do section to help identify in which North Dakota region it is located. This will help you plan your trip, no matter which part of North Dakota you plan to visit. You will see a series of symbols which are placed next to each city in the What To Do listing to show you what else there is to see and do in the area. (Index shown below.)
