Petrified Forest Loop Trail | Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND
While traveling through North Dakota a friend of ours told us about Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We've never actually heard of it and decided to find a trail in the park where we could do an over night camping trip. The petrified forest loop trail stood out to us as being a scenic yet challenging trail considering the total length of about 10 miles with no water source and 95 degree heat. This meant carrying enough water to last us the day and night. We hiked the first couple miles reaching a flat prairie that went on for miles north to south. The views to the left and right was spectacular. We stumbled upon a bison on the trail and had to walk way around it just in case got annoyed with us. The sun began to set and around the 3/4 mark of the trail we found an awesome spot to set up our tent. The light soon faded and we set-up a camera toward the direction of the milky way to capture a long exposure star lapse. I've never camped in such windy conditions and had to really tie down the tent so it wouldn't flap around violently, which it still did most of the night. When we woke up to check the camera's time-lapse progress we turned around and to our surprise saw the NORTHERN LIGHTS dancing around the sky. Quickly we re-positioned the camera to capture a few photos and time lapse of the Aurora Borealis. It was amazing to see it for the first time. Out of all the places I've set my tent up I would have to say this was the coolest place I've camped. Overall we both give the trail a five star rating. I know most people only use this trail for day hikes but I encourage everyone to spend the night on this trail.

See and Do -Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota
There is a lot to see and do here! The Little Missouri River winds throughout this western North Dakota park - Theodore Roosevelt - as to plenty of bison, deer, antelope, coyote, prairie dogs, feral horses and eagles inhabit the land. Climb the peaks and you will get exceptional views of the canyons, caprocks, petrified forest, and other bizarre formations that make up the badlands.

This is a short video made from several dashcam segments of the scenic loop drive in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This is a very scenic park with lots of wildlife. The visitor center has a small museum. I visited the park in June 2017.

Watching the Perseid Meteor Shower at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota
On our second day at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, we woke up bright and early to beat the heat to go for a hike out to the Petrified Forest. We then ventured up to the North unit of the park to do a driving loop. Later that night, we went back to the park to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota - South Unit - Wind Canyon Trail (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).

SwitchbackKids 's Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Quaint, quiet, scenic campground oasis in the prairies of North Dakota
Cottonwood Campground was a very welcome oasis in the prairies of North Dakota. Along our year-long trip, we slept in a lot of campgrounds, but Cottonwood stands out as just what we needed at the time: quiet, spacious, and beautiful sites, nestled right up along the Missouri river, perfect for taking a dip at the end of a long day of hiking.
We spent four days at Theodore Roosevelt National Park: two in the south unit and two in the north unit. (We also loved Juniper Campground in the north!)
Cottonwood Campground was a great place to crash for two nights. It was cheap, comfortable, and quiet. It allowed great access to the heart of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We even ran into a Teddy impersonator at the Visitor Center!
In the south, near Cottonwood Campground, we loved the beautiful scenic drive, the views from Buck Hill, Wind Canyon Overlook, and the Petrified Forest (a bit of a drive around the park).
You can read much more about our four days in the park on our blog: Switchback Kids (Theodore Roosevelt) (

The Beautiful Badlands of North Dakota seem like a winter wonderlad after a fresh snow in western North Dakota.

The entrance to it's North Unit is just beyond the Long X Bridge (over the Little Missouri River) at the end of this video, which is fourteen miles south of Watford City in McKenzie County.

In Search of North Dakota's National Forest, Once Was
A National Forest, in North Dakota? There was one! Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 designated 13,940 acres of beautiful Ponderosa Pine of the southern North Dakota badlands as Dakota National Forest. In 1917 it was abolished. There are no structures remaining, but it's still as beautiful as ever. The property is now private land, owned by Logging Camp Ranch (which offers camping and cabin accommodations). You'll find it northwest of Amidon, North Dakota (1 mile west of Amidon on Highway 85, then a right turn on to a gravel road, follow for less than one mile, then take the first right ,which is another gravel road. Follow the road north about 11 miles, look for signs.) The forest is near the Burning Coal Veins Campground and Trailhead, one of our favorite places to catch the Maah Daah Hey Trail. It's one of the places highlighted on The Theodore Roosevelt Trail. Pick up a brochure about the trail at travel and rest centers in North Dakota, or get more information at: theodorerooseveltcenter.org #theodoreroosevelt #NorthDakota #ndlegendary #badlands #MaahDaahHey #BeautifulBadlandsND
