THEODORE ROOSEVELT NATIONAL PARK - NORTH DAKOTA

Entrance to the visitor center
Our first destination in North Dakota was Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We stopped by the visitors center for some maps and postcards before heading to the post office and an ice cream parlor in the nearby town of Medora. Then we drove to the part of the park featuring the colorful layers of North Dakota's badlands. Specifically, Painted Canyon.

After a long day on the road and tourning the park, we drove to our hotel in Dickinson, ND for some sleep.
