Beautiful place to visit. Prairie dogs and lots of open prairie to stabd on and feel the wind . Amazing to think what it was like. The river running through and the town were absolutely beautiful.

Teddy Roosevelt National Park North Unit is worth the trip. If you are interested in canyons and the power of water erosion, do not miss this gem. Being a small unit, the visitors center is pretty humble. The 14-mile drive through the unit provides great views of how the Little Missouri River has carved its way through the landscape. The pullouts are all worth the stop. The concretions are fascinating reminders that nature works in mysterious ways. Good chance of seeing bison around the park. The

If you only have a limited amount of time, skip this unit. We found far fewer animals here than in the South unit. The trails are very narrow, not well maintained and not very traveled either. You will find a few breathtaking overlooks though.

The north unit definitely not as crowded as the south unit and had very similar views. Although my family had mentioned multiple times that the buttes and rock formation seem to be much more colorful and had a more distinct pattern in them. The scenic drive also had a stop where the cannonball like rock formations were protruding out of the buttes! We got to see bison walk right next to our truck when they decided to cross the road. I liked how clean from litter the park was and how natural everything looked. The scenic drive at times had some rough spots and was not paved at some points but all in all good. We ended up taking the Caprock Coulee Loop trail which got pretty difficult for the little ones but it did have great scenery. If anyone is looking to take this trail I would recommend that you be prepared for steep sections and narrow trails on some high ledges. Once we finished that trail we got back on the scenic road and continued on to the end of the route which had us at a pretty amazing view especially at sunset. The sunset looked so amazing it seemed fake.
