Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND

Written by Carol Cain on 16 August 2009

We left Billings, MT and were slowly starting to make our way home. We now had to drive through North Dakota. I had never driven through this state, but everyone I spoke to said it wasn’t much to look at. The the scenery was flat and boring.

So you can imagine my surprise, as we drove down I94 when I started seeing huge cliffs, and than mountains in the skyline. From a distance they looked quite amazing.

We got off the road to see what this unexpected surprise was about, and came across Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Situated in the North Dakota Badlands, we had stumbled upon a 70,447-acre park and like the Badlands in South Dakota, the views were stunning.

It was a great stop and a nice break from the road. If you ever find yourself in the area, make sure to pull over and take a moment to take in the breathtaking views at this hidden gem in North Dakota.
