TRNP - North Unit Morning

Today's high temperature forcast is 103 degrees. So we got up early, ate a quick breakfast and headed up to the North Unit of the Teddy Roosevelt National Park, a 1.5 hour drive in the Jeep without the ebikes. We got there 2.5 hours later because we crossed into the Central Time zone on the way. We passed huge fields of sunflowers. Entering the park, we did not stop at the visitor center as it looks like a couple of mobilhomes. We were stopped on the road by buffalos again. The road is only 14 miles to the end. We stopped at the Cannonball Concretions pullout and Les took a bunch of photos while Jill took a walk over to the picnic area across the road. There are are rocks there that are almost perfect spheres. The next stop was RIver Bend Overlook. There is a cool overllok building built by the CCC. Jill remembers it from when she was a little girl. Next we stopped at the Oxbox Overlook at the end of the road. It has another great vista of the Little Missouri River that travels through the whole park, We ate lunch back at the picnic area before head back south, We made a quick stop at the Painted Canyon Visitor Center which is more of a gift shop.Read more
