Shortly after entering North Dakota we saw signs for Theodore Roosevelt National Park. A woman at a visitor's center in Montana said it is one of the least known National Parks, but was beautiful. Needing a reminder why we took this trip, we stopped at the park for a while even though we had many miles to our campground and the sunlight was fading.
This was called the Badlands of North Dakota, not to be confused with those in South Dakota. Looking down into the Painted Canyon we noted it was different than South Dakota because there was a lot of vegetation, green grasses and low lying bushes. In South Dakota, there wasn't much growing. We enjoyed the view and remembered to stop to smell the flowers, figuratively. Or watch the play of light on the canyons...
I would have liked to spend more time in North Dakota, but there were only two KOA campgrounds in the state, the one near Bismark and one further north and way out of our way. A drive through state this time, but one worth a return trip.
