Theodore Roosevelt National Park is located in North Dakota. The Park is broken down into a southern and northern unit. In this vlog, my daughter and I spent parts of three days exploring much of what is offered. We take you on two incredible hikes (Petrified Forest and Caprock-Coulee Trails), give an overview of our campsite. show wild horses and buffaloes and take you with us on two significantly western meals. It's a trek to get there, but definitely worth the visit!

I had the luxury of being an interpretive Ranger mere months after y'all visited the park. The history, geology, herbology, and the wildlife made 2017 a dream come true. Y'all encapsulated my 5 months of ranger work into one video. Good. I hope more people realize the amazing depths of THRO and it's wonders.
P.S. It's Colonel Roosevelt. He HATED being called "Teddy" as only his first wife ever called him that. And for some reason, "President Roosevelt" wasn't proper in the Colonel's mind.
Great video overall. THRO is a thoroughly misunderstood park, and deserve the two + days you gave it
Hey Brian, enjoyed your kind words and insights! What a treat that must have been for you to work at this national gem. Take care!
I live by the north unit of the park. It is my favorite place on the planet. The horses are awesome but the north unit is wild and wonderful. If I could be buried there I would ;)
Neither my husband nor I grow up in ND but as a military family after retiring from Minot AFB(ND) we could not imagine living anywhere else.
We have lived all over the country and overseas and there is no place better than the northern unit of the park.
Thank you so much for the comment! So nice to hear from someone local to the area. Totally agree - we kind of flew through the area, but had a great time. Such a beautiful place!
So cool. I did many of these trips with my kids years ago before the internet. Yellowstone, GTNP, RMNP, Glacier, Badland etc. I wish I could do it all over again. I can't look at my old photos because it makes me sad that time has passed so fast. I really enjoy your videos. It brings me back to those precious memories. Thank you for your beautiful family and the all the videos you make. I totally get why you take these trips. I really appreciate you. It is like I am back there again.
Hi David, that was really a beautiful comment! The traveling window with my daughters is just about closed. Like you, so thankful for the opportunity to build these special memories!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this father daughter team....showing us discovery and family unity💖
Thanks so much! Love being with my family - so please with the wonderful young ladies they have become!
Love the father-daughter hiking duo, I never get tired watching your adventures together.
Really encouraged by that, John! Have a blessed weekend!
You missed the Visitor Center at the South Unit in your video. TR's cabin is behind it that you can go into on a ranger talk. My grandson loved that area and the prairie dogs.
Actually, I remember we did see it. Guess I just didn't represent it in the video. Super place!
Great tip. Having read about it, I want to see that cabin.
Friend worked here last summer great roaming area.
Me and my wife regularly watch your channel and envy how you guys are visiting all these amazing places on earth. Because of that, we've now made 11 national parks and 2 monuments so far, and planning to do more. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love reading comments like these! 11 is off to a great start! Appreciate your kind words of encouragement!
Just got back from our drive to Badlands, Wind Cave, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Devil's Tower, and TRNP. All were fantastic. Nobody was around even though Spring Break. Weather was chilly with some snow, but the wildlife was everywhere. Badlands was great in the winter, Wind Cave is fine all year. We were the only ones at Mt Rushmore, which was great. Devil's Tower was good. I would say that TRNP might be better in the summer where you can see the grasses and the flowers. Wildlife was great otherwise. Great to see wild horses. Thanks for your inspiration to see the country!
What an epic trip... so gald to hear you had an enjoyable time. And yes, surprised to hear about the minimal crowds. I love people, but the experience is always better when you feel "alone" in the parks.
Love your videos !!! I'm a father of three young ones and want to strive to be like you and take my children to parks like you . Love your stuff keep up the great work and love your tee shirts!
Appreciate that, Anthony! Can't ask for more encouraging words than the ones you just passed along! Sounds like you are a great father. Keep it a priority and make these trips (especially 1-on-1 for the quality time) happen! It's been one of the best parenting decisions I've made with my life. So much to develop our relationship!
Nice. You two are awesome.
I’ll be visiting the park tomorrow.
But an Elk or Bison burger are delicious.
I love an Elk burger
Always welcome food insights! :) Appreciate the kind words and have a great trip!
Love this video, getting me psyched up for my trip south to see this park in the summer!
You'll have a great time! So much to see at both of the TRNP units! Enjoy, be safe and thanks for watching and commenting!
One of my favorite parks to view wildlife...love your videos!
Hey, thanks so much! This underappreciated park is definitely a hike, but well worth the drive. We had a great time there!
I love Theodore national park it’s is soooooo good I love and live in North Dakota ♥️♥️💖💖
You are blessed! ND is an awesome state and probably (due to its location) one of the least visited states. It was a hike to head that far north, but I was glad we did. Thanks!
Americas Parks No Problem!😉
Oh yah? Ya from Fargo there, fella?
Hi! Thanks for taking us along to these beautiful places through your videos! We enjoy the outdoors just as much and appreciate you highlighting our national parks! The T-shirts rock!
Hey Marvin, Really appreciate those kind words! Super-encouraged you are enjoying the videos. Great to have you along!
Great father/daughter team to visit the national parks!
Thanks again, Martin! Good memories from that day in 2017.
Love your video's. You know dad, if your daughter is faster than you, the bison gets you. Hahaha. So she doesn't need to be any faster than that. Boy, do I have a story to tell you about a bison walking up on me in Yellowstone while changing clothes. Way close.
Yeah, way too many people don't respect those animals. And your story, wow... one you'll never forget! Thanks for the great comment!
Theodore Roosevelt NP is a unique park and I'm glad I visited once. I stopped by on a RV trip from Ohio to Glacier NP where I took the northern route. I travelled to Mackinaw Island then went west across the upper peninsula of Michigan and ended up in Montana. This was one of the more secluded drives in all of my travels.
Sounds like it was a great trip! Hopefully we'll be back on the road!
Thanks for sharing! Looks like a beautiful park :)
Thanks and have a great New Year!
I love your mix of scenery, information and fun! This is another one we haven't been to. I'll have to add it to the list. :) Love the shirts, btw.
Thanks so much! My daughter surprised me with the shirts! It took me a while to find my niche. I finally setting into what comes most natural - experience the National Park through my eyes (which includes the stuff you mentioned).
Great area for hiking. Did my first one there last weekend. Ran into so many bison, plenty of detours, so a two hour hike turned into a 4 hour hike. But the views were amazing. Going back next weekend, and better prepared.
Hey Gwyn, welcome to the channel! Great to hear you've been out there, and returning for another trip!. It was a hike to get to the Park for us, but well worth the effort! Have a great week!
I decided I was going to stop here for a break while planning a future road trip. Looks like a great spot to hike! Another great video!
Thank you and highly recommended! We had about 1.5 days and still enjoyed much of the two units.
You're the best, Bro. Love your adventures & your spirit.
Thanks, Aaron! Nice to read your kind words!
@@AmericasParks And though we've lived in Lincoln, Nebraska 17 years now, we're finally getting to TR. So, of course, I'm rewatching your video. Thanks again!
@@pahouseholder Great to hear! Have a blessed trip!
Came across a bison on the trail in Yellowstone once. Took a quick photo and carefully got out his way. Fun video!
Yeah, that was intense. Wasn't sure what to do!
That's Awesome cool video Subscribed!
Thanks, just subbed back!
Awesome video, thank you for making it! My family and I are traveling to TRNP tomorrow. I have a 4 y/o, so we'll stick to the easier trails, but I am so stoked to get out in the wilderness.
Sweet, Chris! So encouraged to hear you are deliberately making family time to be together - and of all places an amazing National Park! Enjoy your trip and create some great memories!
New subscriber. Live down in Rapid City and came across your channel while looking for info about T.R. N.P. Amazed at the variety of places you have visited. Wondered with all the traveling you do where home is. Your videos are going to keep me busy for quite awhile.
Hey David, thanks for visiting the channel and welcome aboard! We live on the New Jersey Shore. Hope you can get out to some of these amazing places. Let me know if you have any National Park questions!
Hey, fellow Rapid.
Proposed to my now wife in that park, on the way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton (live in Minnesota) . Didn't stay long because we were excited about the engagement and the upcoming trip. Looking forward to spending more time there on our trip to Glacier! Great content as usual.
Hey Ted, that is a great story! I really enjoy hearing how others have made their own personal memories at these amazing places. Yours is truly unique. Hope you have another memorable trip and thanks for the kind words!
Great video.Shalom
Thank you!
I visited the south unit of TRNP for a day this past summer on a road trip and after seeing this, I wish I would've taken a day to explore the north unit. I ended up hiking 18 miles through the Petrified Forest Loop & several other trails. On the hike, I had to dodge a herd of bison while walking through a prairie dog town. Certainly a surreal experience, but an amazing day there nonetheless. I am so envious of your adventures, but I love following your travels! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words, Daniel! And wonderful to hear you've enjoyed TRNP - so few people venture that far north. Your hike certainly sounds memorable!
So this is my state and we take our horses there at least once a year. I think it’s hilarious that you found sullys creek creepy because that’s where we stay as you can’t keep horses in the park and think the campground is nicer than the TRNP campground cuz showers there nice after a hot sweaty day with horse hair all over you. We took my nieces and nephew there last year and between the hiking, playing the river and riding horse we had a blast. I was super proud of my niece she did a 7 mile ride with her 4yo sister behind her and handled it like a boss. Wow that’s a lot. Sorry just found your channel and I’m loving it.
Hey thanks so much! And sorry about the creepy comment! lol! From what I can remember, we drove in really late at night (it was pitch-black dark) and we were totally unaware of the surroundings. Anywhere in those condition would have been creepy! :) We loved ND! Really appreciate the kindness and encouragement. Welcome!
nice place
Thanksyou and sorry for the very late reply! lol!
Love these videos! Subbed for sure! I am starting an adventure vlog with my wife and two small boys this summer. We'll be spending quite a bit of time in the Badlands this year! Do you need a permit to film in the parks? Vids are great, keep it up!
Hey Aaron, thanks for your kind words! So glad to hear about your plans that include your entire family. We've been do this for 10 years and it's done so much to build great memories and family dynamics. The Badlands are great! I have a couple videos from my time there on my site. Filming is fine without a permit. I believe permits are only necessary for commercial purposes. Have fun!
You guys always have lots of nighttime driving adventures! Can we bet on Proline who is going to win that race??? :p Tell you what Randy, you rig the race and I'll split my winnings with ya! Beautiful views from the park. Nice t-shirts!
Sounds like a deal! It would have to be rigged because between my track-star daughter, the buffalo and myself I'd clearly have to settle for the Bronze.
@@AmericasParks When around bison, watch the tail, straight up means either defecating or danger of charge.
@@TrekkerPat That is really good to know! Need to keep that one in mind.
13:21 I think that chocolate milk would make me nauseous after a hike like that😂
lol! For some reason all I recall was craving dairy. Thankfully it was cold!
Spent four days here last summer on our way out to Glacier. Glacier was obviously far more spectacular, but in a lot of ways I enjoyed Theodore Roosevelt more because of the solitude and complete lack of crowds. Reminded me somewhat of Lassen Volcanic and Great Basin, two other favorites, in that regard.
Great point, Rick. Well-stated and totally agree! Unfortunately, my wife and I were scheduled to hike to Wheeler Peak tomorrow. Hopefully another time. Stay healthy!
I am planning on doing this park next week(24-27). This is one I haven't been to. This will be #46 for me and #41 for my daughter. I have not been anywhere since Corona/March, so I hope this isn't a mistake as I am somewhat dreading flying this time and slightly fearful. I live in a tiny town in Oklahoma and we have had very little sickness in our county so far. I have reservations in Dickinson but might just end up doing backcountry camping. Hate to pack all of that up for airplane, but will decide next week when we are closer and I know for sure more about the weather the period. We will spend a full day in North and South each, and probably hike petrified forest area.(probably not the entire loop). I have watched your video several times.
So wonderful to hear! My wife and I just returned from flying out West. Felt pretty safe with the social distancing and some sanitizer on us. Hope it works out for you guys. You should have some good distance from people up in ND.
Enjoyed this video of an "off the beaten path" National Park...but one not to overlook. Would be interested in buying some shirts. Are they still available? How do I place an order? Looking forward to the next notification ding telling me a new video is out! Have a great weekend.
Hey James would love to get you a shirt - we just received our new order last week! Please email me your address (americasparks1@gmail.com) with your shirt size. Probably the easiest way to get me the money is to just use my pal pal account on my other website - www.gracequotes.org. The cost for you is $10 (that will cover shipping as well). Thanks for the interest!
Randy, What a great tour by Kayla and you. I think the point that Kayla was making was not to challenge you to a race, but rather when it comes to buffalo, all she needs is to run faster than you! This is a very interesting National Park, and a good reason to travel to North Dakota. Did you very figure out what those bugs were? THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG! . . . Mike
No, never were able to determine the species. Strange little guys. This was a great NP - beautiful and low on the crowds. Take care!
I have just recently found your channel and love the content. Could you tell me where that sunflower field is and what time of the year they were blossoming? I would love to take pictures of my kids there
Really appreciate your kind words - and welcome to the channel! Stretching my memory on that one! I know it was mid-August and the field was just off the main highway. I believe it was on the way heading north to Teddy Roosevelt NP. Sorry, wish I could be more specific!
Americas Parks thank you,
Late July, early August is the best time. Sunflowers are mostly grown in North Dakota because the "sunflower Weevil" can not survive our cold winters. In June Sunflowers follow the Sun from East to West by moving their heads. Later on they all face East to catch the morning sun. Most are raised for their oil, but a different variety is raised for consumption.
Now im excited to see this park one day in a few years. My daughter will love the up close wild life. gonna have to share this video with the family. i think they will enjoy it. Was the restaurants you stopped at in Medora? Looks like a really cool little town! One of my favorite edits of yours. Funny how the parks that your not super stocked about end up making some of the best videos. (Just my experience). I have been looking forward to seeing this one so thanks for posting! Did you also visit Devils Tower?
Yes, both restaurants were just outside the south park entrance of the south unit (I'm pretty sure). TR was great. A hike to get there, but worth the trip. It's funny that I still have 5 more videos to edit from this final trip (that was taken almost 5 months ago!). One is Devils Tower and 2 are Grasslands. Can you guess the other 2 National Park sites we hit on this trip?
Guess? No. Not without my map! I figured Devils tower was one of them.Cant wait to get up there someday soon.
Also loved the shirts. i had some made also a while back. Gonna make long sleeve ones soon.
The National Parks need to written in the map of your mind! Kind of like a good football player knowing his playbook inside and out. lol!
Fort Union and Fort Laramie. The later was the closest to Devils Tower. It's in Wyoming just north of Colorado.
Hello Sir, Your Adventure and Hike in this Park is amazing. I wonder though "This Place is so lonely. Only You two were there". Did You spend the Night in the Tent? Any Rattle Snakes there? Thanks.
Yes, this Park is up in North Dakota so not as many people visit...and not rattlesnake spottings on this one. Take care!
Hey Randy and Kayla.....nice video as usual....We will be travelling up from South Texas all the way North and will include Teddy Roosevelt N.P. so nice to view in advance....This will be our 46th State that we have been in....Will stop at the Devils Tower in Wyoming first.....We will be on the way to Glacier N.P. to meet up with our Son and Family from Denver and six other Families and finally to Yellowstone N.P. and Grand Tetons N.P.....told you that it is nice to travel with your kids and in later years they invite you along....really nice....Anyway, the real reason for this comment is to request info on your "Americas Parks" tea shirts that you and Kayla introduced....How do we get a couple and are there several colors???All the best to you and Family....hope to hear from you soon......Hank and Pam!!
What an epic trip you have planned! You'll be visiting some incredible places. So thankful you have stayed close to your family and still take much pleasure in being together! Enjoy and be safe, my friend!
As for the shirts - yes we still have some. Best to obtain them this way if interested:
1. How many and what sizes? (only in grey)
2. May payment to my paypal account on my other website ($15/shirt which includes shipping) - www.gracequotes.org
3. Send me your address at americasparks1@gmail.com
And should have mentioned the trip will be next July,2020....must plan way in advance for campsites and such....Will let you know about the tea shirts soon...
@@AmericasParks Hey Randy...just e-mailed you my address to send the tea shirt(wife only likes a V neck so only one)_....also attempted to send the $15.00 thru Pay Pal, but fear I messed it up....sent it to your e-mail address but listed my name.....silly me...Anyway...I need a Large size....Hoping all is OK....let me know....Hank and Pam
Hi! Would you happen to remember what the name of the restaurant was that you ate at in the beginning of the video? The one with the saloon? Thanks! Great video as always.
Digging in my mind, but can't recall the name. It was really close to the park entrance. I want to say out and just to the right.
Think I got it - check out: Little Missouri Dining Room & Saloon
@@AmericasParks Thanks for responding on such an old video! I'll be sure to check it out when I'm at the park in a few weeks :)
Love the shirts! I wonder if those bugs were "no see ums"? Google it. They bite. I have encountered them on Alabama beaches and also at campgrounds in Missouri.
Thank you! Checked on the bugs - don't think so, these guys were not biting and there wasn't much to their bodies. Have a great New Year!
@@AmericasParks Gnats possibly.
@@TrekkerPat Yeah, leaning in that direction too. Thanks!
Hope you got to eat the steak fondue and see the show why you were there. Best thing in ND
Heard about that - need to get back! Great state!
I was just there yesterday I'm at 42 States and around 80 national parks units . now what's your count?
I own American Pet TransportLLC
Hey Adam, great accomplishment! As for the "big parks" I just hit my final park in the lower 48 last week (Isle Royale). Hope for Alaska next summer and Hawaii the year after. Doubtful I'll ever reach American Samoa. Take care and keep enjoying the Parks!
@@AmericasParks I did a recount of actually been to 115 Park units
I need that shirt.
Here you go! teespring.com/stores/americas-parks
Just wanted to say that the FATHER is so FUNNY! Cracking me up.... DAD SHOULD GET PAID FOR THE ADVERTISING OF SOME FOODS BEING BOUGHT AND EATEN ON THESE TRIPS😄 Just saying☺
Hope the would-be advertisers are reading your kind comments! My daughters would enjoy the break from tuna fish and peanut butter!
You're missing out on that bison burger.
Yeah, quite a few other viewers share your heart on that one! :)
*bison* Fixed it for you
thank you
