The North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park is about half the size of the South Unit. The two Units are not directly connected but the Little Missouri River flows through both with the best views in the North. So starting from the South Unit in Medora, North Dakota, let’s embark on the 75 minute drive and explore the North Unit!
Besides water. The Missouri/Yellowstone confluence–point of joining–is in North Dakota, about four miles east of the Montana state line. What makes this river confluence important enough for this huge, beautiful Visitor Center? Let’s have a look!
Welcome to a 10-acre Utah State Park with unbelievable views. The issue today is the wind. It is blowing steady at 25-35 mph with gusts over 50 mph. Since this park known for “standing on edges,” hold onto your hat and anything else that is study and solid.
About an hour from home and 3,000 feet higher, is Tarryall Road which takes us to Tarryall Reservoir. I’ve wanted to travel this quiet back road for some time, but what better time than when autumn color is at peak! This is a new trip for us both. Let’s go.
