Theodore Roosevelt National Park, National Park in Billings County, North Dakota, United States.
The park spans across 285 square kilometers of land divided into three distinct units: North Unit, South Unit, and Elkhorn Ranch Unit.
Theodore Roosevelt arrived in North Dakota in September 1883 to hunt bison and invested $14,000 in the Maltese Cross Ranch in the territory.
The park stands as a testament to President Roosevelt's conservation initiatives, which led to the establishment of the United States Forest Service in the early 1900s.
Three developed campgrounds provide accommodation options while 100 miles of trails enable hiking and horseback riding throughout the different park sections.
The park contains geological formations dating back 65 million years, creating landscapes with canyons and extensive plains where bison and wild horses roam.
