Theodore Roosevelt NP

TRNP is located in the western area of North Dakota.  The town of Medora is the starting point for the South Unit of the park.  The North Unit and Elkhorn Unit are an easy day trip from Medora.  The park is made up of mostly prairies and Bad Lands. It also includes what remains of Roosevelt's ranch called Elkhorn. The Bad Lands are different from the Bad Lands of South Dakota but similar.  Kind of like 2 children of the same parents, they are similar but unique.

They just seem to go on forever

While driving the North Unit we saw bison, prairie dogs and some wild horses.

We also got a look at some very cool rock formations

These formations are called cannon balls!

All that remains of the Elkhorn Unit is some rocks that formed the foundation of Roosevelt's cabin.  We took the drive there on day and hiked to the ruins.  Not much to see but the drive was beautiful.
