Theodore Roosevelt National Park-North Unit

The North Dakota badlands provide the backdrop to Theodore Roosevelt NP, which memorializes our 26th President for his contributions to the conservation of our nation's resources. Roosevelt owned Elkhorn Ranch in the badlands in the 1880s.

The Little Missouri River has shaped the land which is home to bighorn sheep, bison & longhorn steer.

One of the highlights of our trip through the park was the reintroduced buffalo herd.

The Park's 14-mile scenic drive climbs up from the Little Missouri River Valley, through silver sagebrush flats,past slopes, buttes and canyons to rolling grasslands.
