Day 14: Fargo to Teddy Roosevelt National Park
We drove from Fargo, ND to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND
We picnicked a lot more on the later half of our trip - getting tired of finding restaurants along the way.
And we made it to the park!! Beautiful views!!
The have their own version of the badlands, but much greener in North Dakota
We got to hear a Ted Talk - one of the park rangers dressed up as young Teddy Roosevelt and gave an informational talk about his connection with the park in character. We wondered if they hired someone who looked like him on purpose or it was just a fun thing one of the rangers came up with.
We saw sooooo many prairie dogs
And a lot of beautiful views!!
We saw a few bison
We hiked around a little bit but my knee (which I recently injured) wasn't up for too much walking.
And swimming later at the hotel
Day 15: Teddy Roosevelt to Badlands and Wall Drug
Between Theodore Roosevelt NP and Badlands NP there is a road with all these cool metal sculptures. Its between (about) Gladstone, ND and Regent, ND. We were going that way anyway, but they sculptures were pretty cool. There are about 10 of them scattered along the way.
And we made it to Badlands!! Here we are in the visitor's center
We did some short hikes
A lot of the scenery looks similar at Badlands
Still impressive though
And we visited Wall Drug
We had fun looking around and got our free ice water!
More adventures to come
