Teddy Rosevelt National Park, ND

This was our first visit to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. There are actually two units, located 70 miles apart. The terrain reminded us of South Dakota's Badlands. Theodore Roosevelt was enchanted by the wildlife and landscape. He stated he would never have been president had it not been for his experience in North Dakota. He was known as the conservation president and had a great impact on the national park system. This buffalo was the first animal we encountered after we entered the park.

Below are some scenes of the park. The big ball is called a cannonball. They wash out of the formations and roll down to ground level.

These are a few of the wild horses found in the park. It was almost dark when we came up on them standing in the road. You can see the guardrail on the one side, and there was an embankment on the other; so they had no place to go.
