Top Reasons to Go to Theodore Roosevelt National Park

The "Granddaddy Trail": Hike the Maah Daah Hey Trail, which means "grandfather" or "been here long." It's one of the most popular and well-maintained trails in western North Dakota.

Views from above: Get an encompassing 360-degree view of the badlands from Buck Hill.

History lessons from the frontier: View Maltese Cross Ranch Cabin, which once belonged to Theodore Roosevelt.

Badlands Broadway: Come experience a theatrical tribute to the history and personalities that make up the Old West at the Medora Musical, located in the town, not the park.

Great clubbing—golf, that is: Perfect your swing at Bully Pulpit Golf Course in Medora, one of America's premier courses near the national park.

Away from it all: As this is not a heavily visited park, you'll likely encounter more wild horses than people here.
