IN HONOR OF A PRESIDENT

When Theodore Roosevelt came to Dakota Territory to hunt bison in 1883, he was a skinny, young, spectacled dude from New York. He could not have imagined how his adventure in this remote and unfamiliar place would forever alter the course of the nation. The rugged landscape and strenuous life that TR experienced here would help shape a conservation policy that we still benefit from today.

NORTH DAKOTA

Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a United States National Park comprising three geographically separated areas of badlands in western North Dakota. The park covers 70,446 acres in three sections: the North Unit, South Unit, and Elkhart Ranch unit. The Little Missouri River flows all throughout these units, and the Maah Daah Hey Trail connects the three units together. The park was named for U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and his adventures in North Dakota. Which became influential in his pursuit of conservation policies as President of the United States.
