Theodore Roosevelt National Park


Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota encompasses the North Dakota Badlands and is within the Little Missouri National Grasslands. The Park is a tribute to the 26th president's dedication to conservation.

As to be expected, wildlife is abundant in the Park - most noticeably prairie dogs and bison.



We also caught just a glimpse of some of the wild horses roaming through the park, but were too slow to get any but a distant photo of any of them.

Of course, the scenery itself was worth the visit:














The (somewhat commercial) town of Medora, ND, is just at the entrance of the southern portion of the Park, and Gracie and Abby were all too happy to take a stroll through town.
