There&#8217;s a good variety of foliage to be found along each of the trail&#8217;s two forks.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/fall_river_7225.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center>Of course, there are plenty of routes along the river that will provide scenic vistas. One can head north or south on 1804 or 1806, for instance. A nice drive up River Road and back around by Papa&#8217;s Pumpkin Patch could provide some breathtaking scenery and colors. Whatever your route, you&#8217;d better take it soon!

This little guy was really mad at me. Some creatures just really don&#8217;t want to have their photo taken, I guess! He struck at me a couple of times, but thanks to the wonder of telephoto lenses I wasn&#8217;t close enough to hurt him. Nevertheless he felt cornered, and nobody likes that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the luxury of a photo walk with my beloved wife this Saturday, and of course our choice was the Lewis &amp; Clark walking trail on the Mandan side of the river.
