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.


MONTANA-NORTH DAKOTA STATE LINE

The Supreme Commander crosses
from Montana to North Dakota
We crossed from Montana to North Dakota via I-94 on our way to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We also stopped at a vista point near the state line to get some shots of the grasslands near some of the badlands in northwestern North Dakota. North Dakota is the least visited state in the USA so we have defied one national trend just by entering the state.
