A Lesser Known Treasure

Theodore Roosevelt National Park is one of the lesser known and visited national parks but this is certainly due to its way out of the way location and not due to any lack of interesting features, wildlife or scenic beauty. Composed of three distinct units,...More

As Good As It Gets

We have visited Theodore Roosevelt National Park each year for the past 2 years. Each time it gets better than the last time and we never thought that was possible. We saw numerous bands of wild horses just about around every turn and with the...More

Getaway

Great time to see the bison. Wish we would of seen some of the bighorn sheep. Just a view of what god has created. Some of the best formations I have seen.

Absolutely beautiful

Truthfully, I had never heard of this park until we started planning our trip to the Dakotas. We went to both the North and South units. We visited in the late afternoon/early evening. We saw lots of wildlife, including wild horses, prairie dogs, and bison....More

Give this national park a chance, you won't regret it.

On a trip through the west my wife and I decided to tour TRNP. We are sure glad we did. The north and south units are completely different but both worth the visit. Each can be viewed with an easy day for each. The north...More

worth the trip

TRNP N & S units are greatly under appreciated. Beautiful scenic drives and well worth the few hours to drive through. The town of Medora is quaint. It's the town Mr. Bubble built, google it.

Hidden Jem of the Park System

This is a small park but we saw wild horses, bison, prairie dogs and elk. They were just fixing the roads and they are nice. Stop at the visitor center for sure. I would recommend this over Yellowstone due to more wildlife and now crowds!

Theodore Roosevelt loved this area, he came to heal from life’s greatest tragedies. Unlike many others, he saw opportunities to graze cattle and bought acres for ranching. “Teddy” was the president who started our national parks and gave ranch land so everyone could come and...More

What is the distance between the north and south loops. Can you drive a motor home through the parks? Thank you.

It's about a 60 mile drive from I-94 to the north section of the park. I didn't see any sections of road where you couldn't take an RV. No really sharp turns as I recall. Hope this helps.

We were there in August, and coming from Naples, FL, as we do, the heat then didn't bother us. It depends what you mean by spring and fall. If you go in March, I can imagine the weather could be pretty dicey. The same if you... More

I am planning a two-day hiking trip to TRNP staying in Medora. Most reviewers and comments favor the South Unit. Thoughts on spending one day in the North Unit? Also, any recommendations for specific trails? Depending on weather and how I feel, I plan on an 8-10 mile hike in the morning and a shorter hike in the afternoon or early evening.
