Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota - South Unit - Painted Canyon Visitor Center (2019)
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is an American national park comprising three geographically separated areas of badlands in western North Dakota. The park was named for U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. The park covers 70,446 acres (110.072 sq mi; 28,508 ha; 285.08 km2) of land in three sections: the North Unit, the South Unit, and the Elkhorn Ranch Unit.
The park's larger South Unit lies alongside Interstate 94 near Medora, North Dakota. The smaller North Unit is situated about 80 mi (130 km) north of the South Unit, on U.S. Route 85, just south of Watford City, North Dakota. Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch is located between the North and South units, approximately 20 mi (32 km) west of US 85 and Fairfield, North Dakota. The Little Missouri River flows through all three units of the park. The Maah Daah Hey Trail connects all three units.
The park received 749,389 recreational visitors in 2018. It is the only American national park named directly after a single person.
Roosevelt first came to the North Dakota badlands to hunt bison in September 1883. During that first short trip, he got his bison and fell in love with the rugged lifestyle and the perfect freedom of the West. He invested $14,000 in the Maltese Cross Ranch, which was already being managed by Sylvane Ferris and Bill Merrifield seven miles south of Medora. That winter, Ferris and Merrifield built the Maltese Cross Cabin. After the death of both his wife and his mother on February 14, 1884, Teddy Roosevelt returned to his North Dakota ranch seeking solitude and time to heal. That summer, he started his second ranch, the Elkhorn Ranch, 35 miles north of Medora, which he hired two Maine woodsmen, Bill Sewall and Wilmot Dow, to operate. Teddy Roosevelt took great interest in his ranches and in hunting in the West, detailing his experiences in pieces published in eastern newspapers and magazines. He wrote three major works on his life in the West: Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail, Hunting Trips of a Ranchman and The Wilderness Hunter. His adventures in the strenuous life outdoors and the loss of his cattle in the starvation winter in 1886–1887 were influential in Theodore Roosevelt's pursuit of conservation policies as President of the United States (1901–1909).

Day 15: Killdeer, ND to Medora, ND
After waking up at my campsite in Little Missouri State Park, I hike around and get some drone footage before heading out to Watford City. Then I drive to Theodore Roosevelt National Park to hike the Caprock Coulee Trail.
Views from Sentinel Butte
Here are a few views from Sentinel Butte (the hill, not the town) in western North Dakota. The haze you see in the distance is caused by the smoke from Canadian forest fires. It's not normally hazy in this part of the world.

A Pilgrimage to Theodore Roosevelt's Beloved North Dakota Badlands. Bully!
Theodore Roosevelt is among the top of the list when it comes to historic figures I'd most want to meet and, maybe, enjoy share a drink or two with. The energy and the conservation ethic the United States' 26th president displayed while preserving some 230 million acres of United State's land for the benefit of both the wildlife that lived there and the people who would visit for centuries to come has always inspired the Outdoors Rambler. Entering his spartan cabin at the visitor center of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park's south unit entrance was a bit overwhelming as I contemplated all he had done to preserve our wild treasures. Bully for our conservation president.

North Dakota is a midwestern U.S. state dominated by the Great Plains. Its eastern city of Fargo showcases Native American and modern art at the Plains Art Museum. The area's immigrant history is honored at the Scandinavian Heritage Association in the city of Minot. The Great Plains give way to the rugged Badlands near the border with Montana, where Theodore Roosevelt National Park spans the Little Missouri River.
