The Loop Road

2016 Out West, National Parks, North Dakota, Road Trip, States, Theodore Roosevelt NP-North Dakota

Park Introductory
Video


Our goal today has been to savor the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. After a bit of excitement with bison cutting through a neighboring campsite we headed out to drive the loop road. Prairie dogs, bison,


incredible views of the badlands. We took photographs but also spent time just looking and a little bit of hiking. Back at the visitors center we listened to the ranger talk and did the “tour” of the Maltese Cross Cabin, TR’s first home in the Dakota Territory. We’re saving the drive to Elkhorn Ranch and the Petrified Forest for next time because this is a special place and we want to return.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
