Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota

From Cody to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Medora North Dakota.
The park memorializes our 26th. president for his contributions and conservation efforts to our nations' resources. His beloved Badlands and the Little Missouri River are what helped endear this beautiful area to Mr. Roosevelt.
The park is home to a variety of prairee plants and animals including prairee dogs, pronghorn and elk.  There are also about 85 feral horses roaming the park that I had the privilage to see as they crossed the road and my car. The park covers 110 square miles and offers a 36 mile scenic loop. 
There are  also great nature trails and hikes to get you closer to the beauty of the park. Enjoy some pictures. TC...

   I discovered these guys rounding a corner on a nature trail.   
                                                                                              
See the stallion on the ridge?
Not Badlands National Park, but the Badlands of Teddy's park.
