Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Theodore Roosevelt National Park was our first planned sight seeing stop of the trip. We woke up early to make espresso before heading into the park. The south unit has a long out and back drive that stops by numerous short hikes.

First stop was prairie dog town, a large flat full of prairie dogs and some wild horses. Next was the Wind Canyon Trail, a short hike to a beautiful overlook of the Little Missouri River. Then the Boicourt trail and finally the Buck Hill trail.

Exiting the park we stopped by the Painted Hills overlook, watched a bison walk next to the Van, and ate lunch overlooking the Painted Hills.
