South loop of the T.Roosevelt National Park



Theodore Roosevelt National Park is comprised of Three units: The North Unit, the South Unit, and the Elkhorn Ranch Unit. We camped in the South Unit and drove the 32 mile loop 3 times. The first was the evening we set up camp. The next morning we drove the opposite way which gave us a different view. Then that dusk we reversed our drive and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Like Yellowstone the bison go where they want and when you drive these winding roads you have to beware. We came upon several within 6 feet of the car.

 These are Black Tailed Prairie Dogs 





Three of the wild horses that roam the park. They were thinning the herd by rounding up, leaving about 70.

 This big fellow was just 6 feet away. Notice the shattered left antler.
