International Peace garden and Turtle Mountains

Are the International peace gardens and the Turtle Mountain area worth driving about 200 miles round trip? Thank you.

I%26#39;ve driven farther than that to get to the Peace Gardens, but it was not just for the sightseeing. My daughter went there for International Music Camp and I found it to be a long drive. It is an interesting place, but I could find other places of interest that I would rather see.

The flowers at the International Peace Gardens will be in full bloom around late July. There are over 155,000 flowers in displays as well as wonderful memorials. The North American Game Warden Museum is also there. It is a great place to visit. In addition, Lake Metigoshe State Park is a great place to camp. I%26#39;ve camped there and it is one of my favorites...beautifully wooded and plently of water recreation available, including kayak and canoe rentals. If you didn%26#39;t want to camp, you could stay in Bottineau which is lovely town or rent a cabin at Lake Metigoshe. Then the drive through the Turtle Mountains is very scenic.
