Some guests at my museum were raving about a resort town in Western ND, and i was very confused, as i grew up on the border and never heard of a resort in the area. Turns out they meant Medora! It warms my heart that so many people are going to these remote places & seeing that the prairie can be amazing. When i tell ppl that E MT & W ND have many places where you can see the full 360° of the horizon, many of them get incredibly excited.
I, too, had never heard of this NP until I was planning my 2019 trip to South Dakota. I searched the map to see if there was anything interesting in ND. I am so glad I made the trip to TRNP. I loved it. The scenery, wildlife and solitude was worth the effort. Once I read about the Cannonball Concretions I knew I had to visit this strange place. Go west young man, go west, and a bit north.
Going home to Sentinel Butte in May from San Diego. SB is about 14 miles west of Medora so I have spent many many days in Medora and TRNP. My great Grandfather and now family has the horse/cattle ranch just west of the Elkhorn ranch so would say you need many, many days to see all the sights.
I feel that this video is ONE OF THE BEST videos produced with the purpose of informing the public on the Medora Area including the TR National Park. I shall share this with many friends.
We are leaving for Roosevelt National Park tomorrow and this was SO helpful! Thanks for taking the time to do this. We feel like we know what to do/where to go now!
TR National Park has been on my to-do list for years, and this is maybe the single best overview of the Park I've ever seen. Saved for future reference, and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing!
We finished a 7 month western trip the 1st of November. We spent a few days in Theodore Roosevelt national park. We stayed in both the north and south units and thoroughly enjoyed both. One of our favorite parks. Thanks. 👍😊👫🙏
Great video. Great tribute to a great president. We have TR to thank for our National Park System. It is VERY appropriate that he is on Mount Rushmore.
I live up by the north unit and we kind of forget it's a national park. It feels like it's "ours" we are usually the only ones there anyway...lol Thanks for visiting!
I never heard about this national park. It seems great and maybe I will visit it in the future. This year, I went to Yellowstone and it was fantastic. My favorite places in Yellowstone are: Lamar Valley and Grand Canion of Yellowstone. I used your tips and recomendation in Yellostone. Big thanx. The next year, I am planning to go to Alaska to see Kenai and Denali National Parks.
Alaska! Everyone says you’ll think Montana is God’s country until you visit Alaska. Then you’ll KNOW that’s God’s country. You’ll have an incredible trip
Great overview - we are looking forward to our trip to the park in September, and this will be really useful! (Along with guides for the other parks we will be visiting!)
We will be visiting in late May 2023 through the North Entrance, as we are driving coast to coast on US 2 on the way home after taking US 50 from the East Coast to Sacramento. Three + weeks driving to see the USA from the back road highways, instead of looking down from the sky.
I visit twice a year, and what I love about that place is the low population of people and you can sit in a space and hear not a man made sound. Big horn sheep are in the north unit, in November they go into rut and you may catch a pair butting rams. Elkhorn Ranch is solitude
@@WereintheRockies I can't believe you remember that! Looks like you've done well since then! Keep up the great videos. They're so helpful! The combination of maps, video clips, and information (with humor!) is the best.
Enjoyed the video and found it helpful as we will be visiting in July. The cult comment was 😂funny! Not sure we will make it to the north unit as we are on a time schedule.
This is a great and informative video. TR National Park was on my list, but with the current appellate court ruling about filming in National Parks, I’m rethinking our future plans and will likely not visit any more National Parks or Monuments.
The ruling on filming in National Parks is difficult to say the least. However, people still need to visit these wonderful places. Thanks for watching.
No shade to either of you, but the amount of serious and permanent damage to our precious treasures, damage which affects the locals' incomes, is horrifying. I would think you'd be more upset at the a-holes hellbent on destroying YNP for views.
@@montananerd8244 yes, I agree. Go after the “a-holes” for vandalism, littering, etc. But this mostly will affect those of us who produce videos that promote and speak positively about our National Parks and what a treasure they are, and how they need to be preserved and protected. In all seriousness, this has changed our travel plans and we now travel to state or private parks and feature small town Americana: restaurants, quaint places, and family-friendly getaways.
You could easily argue horses ARE native to North America, they evolved here spread to Asia and Europe via the Bering land Bridge then became extinct here in North America likely in part from the humans who were new to North America and over hunted them. Wild horse here now should be considered a re-introduction of a native species.
BINGO. In fact, that was the argument people made for keeping the donkeys in the Grand Canyon, but I didn’t want to get into all of that in my basic travel video. :) Thank you for pointing that out though
Always great videos. Hope to start someday doing the same. Question-what are the rules for using maps in videos without getting into trouble. Cannot find a CZcams video that explains it.
Good question. I think I only use national park maps or google maps. National park maps are public domain from my understanding. Google maps - I’m not aware of restrictions, but I’m not certain on that. There’s always a fair use argument as well, which is a massive gray area.
Any maps published/printed by the US government are public domain (because our taxpayer money paid for the maps). Google of course is a different story.
I see on the internet that there will be a Theodore Roosevelt National Library and Museum in the park. Do you know where in the park it will be located?
Thanks for watching our video! We offer self-guided tours to many places out west! Click here: wereintherockies.com/store/

Yes! I love your comments Larry!
I saw this park in October of 2022. It was stunning and a highlight of my month long out west adventuring. I very much enjoyed your video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi from Montana, I grew up on the border, about 45 min from Williston!
We come to Medora each summer, just a wonderful historical and western feel
I feel that this video is ONE OF THE BEST videos produced with the purpose of informing the public on the Medora Area including the TR National Park. I shall share this with many friends.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!
You helped our family plan our Yellowstone/Grand Teton NPs and now we are headed here- thanks for sharing your expertise !
Enjoy!!
Heading to the park at the end of the summer. I'll see both, probably all three units. Thanks for this.
We are leaving for Roosevelt National Park tomorrow and this was SO helpful! Thanks for taking the time to do this. We feel like we know what to do/where to go now!
You’re welcome! Have a good time
I’ll be out there in a couple weeks. Thanks for all the good information.

Holy! I didn't know your road trip was 7 months! That's incredible!
Definitely plan on visiting. It's on my bucket list!!!
Enjoying your video. My wife and I are retired and planning to visit, this summer 😎
Great video. Great tribute to a great president. We have TR to thank for our National Park System. It is VERY appropriate that he is on Mount Rushmore.

Thanks for visiting!
Going there this fall
Will be there in 2022. Should be fun. Can't wait to see what the night sky looks like out there.
Awesome!
Thanks for the great video. We're heading to the park in two days and your video was extremely helpful.
Our pleasure!
I grew up in western ND. Good job! I'm going to send this to my PA boyfriend to get him excited about visiting in July.
Planning to visit late summer of 2022. Your presentation was excellent.
So nice of you. Hope you have a great time!
Thank you for this very good video. I’m planning on driving up from MN in May of 2024.
GREAT video! Didn't know about the Big Sticks! We're going to see a game thanks to you.
Hope you enjoy it!
Very well done. I enjoyed this.

We went to TR NP in June 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed it. We’re going again in September 2023.
We will be here a week from Sunday. Hope we see the wild horses. We already have tickets for Medora. Lynn and Danny
Thank you! Going there tomorrow!
Have fun!

Sounds amazing. Have a great time and be safe!
Very nice job! Will be at the park 3rd week of May 2022
Hope you enjoy it!
Good ice cream !!! 😋😋😋😋
My Daughter-in-Law is going there
August 18-20, 2023. can't wait. I have been once and she has never been there.
This place has a ton of CZcams reviews, but you nailed it with you’re video!
Nobody does it better than you guys... GREAT VIDEO
Thanks so much.
thanks for the information we here now😀
Have fun!
planning a visit so glad to see everything, including horse's and longhorn seeing all the animals was refreshing compared to other visitors videos
I will be there in 2 weeks.
I visit twice a year, and what I love about that place is the low population of people and you can sit in a space and hear not a man made sound. Big horn sheep are in the north unit, in November they go into rut and you may catch a pair butting rams. Elkhorn Ranch is solitude
visiting this weekend. I'm looking forward to it very much.
Have fun!
Thank you
You're welcome
Will be visiting late September, I'm really interested in the petrified wood.
Have a great time.
Heading there next weekend before Yellowstone. Appreciate another helpful video from you guys!
Glad it was helpful!
I love that place.
Thanks for the video! We are planning on going next summer! You should do Bryce Canyon! It's better than Zion!
We have been to Bryce numerous times and we love it!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing. This might have to be on our list of places to visit (and we won't refer to them as cult members LOL!).
Thanks so much Susan!! Maybe I’ll be one of those cult members when you visit! Lol 😂
@susan Diekmann I still remember you were my 6th subscriber!!! 🙏☺

So excited for this video!! (I almost missed it...it set as "unlisted" but I was able to find it in the playlist)
I haven’t released it yet!! But I’m glad you found it. I hope I covered it good enough for you!!
Enjoyed the video and found it helpful as we will be visiting in July. The cult comment was 😂funny! Not sure we will make it to the north unit as we are on a time schedule.
We would like to visit SD and TRNP in May
Hoping to be there in a month. We travel full time, from Reno, NV, but in Michigan's UP now.
You didnt mention Boicourt Overlook/short hike and i tbink its the best. You also didn't mention Petrified Wood Area. Its worth seeing too
Informative video. Thanks! Plan on visiting in June.
Glad you liked it. You will love your trip there. Make sure to see the Medora Musical.
planning to stop in June on the way to Glaciers
The north unit is the best
Late August. 3rd visit to SD. 1st to TRNP.
Cool!

This Park is getting so much attention! Western ND needs your tourist dollars, and that sweet Montana weed is only an hour away.

Where is there RV camping in roosevelt national park?

Cottonwood Campground. Sully Creek State Park was also fine.
Planning a trip in 2025
what an excellent informative video, thanks so much!!
You’re welcome! You must be visiting the park soon? You’ll love it
@@WereintheRockies I'm helping my parents plan their trip! But my husband and I would love to visit someday too!
