NORTH DAKOTA. AUGUST.
I was excited to visit the Theodore Roosevelt Park as I’m a bit of a Teddy fan. Not politically but personally — and because of his conservation efforts and support of National Parks. Even if folks are not in his fan club, I would think most people would find him interesting, at least. He led a varied and fascinating life. From NPS site: “President – Colonel – Rough Rider – Father – Naturalist – Rancher – Theodore Roosevelt was all of these things and more. His life was one of constant challenge and adventure. “
The Park has both a south and north unit. The visitor’s center at the south unit had a lot of good historical information and exhibits.
I was also interested in the Park because, before I came out on the road, I had heard of the abundance of wild horses found here. I saw some but had hoped for more. On my next visit, I plan to do more research on when and where to find them. There was a good bit of other wildlife which I always enjoy.
Despite the lack of horse sightings, this Park was a highlight for me.
