The park honors the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, who was deeply influenced by his time spent in the North Dakota Badlands.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is home to a herd of wild horses, which are managed to maintain a healthy population and ecosystem balance.
His time in the Badlands inspired him to establish the United States Forest Service and numerous national parks, forests, and monuments.
The park contains several areas with petrified wood, remnants of ancient forests that existed millions of years ago.
The North Unit, South Unit, and Elkhorn Ranch Unit each offer unique landscapes and historical insights into Roosevelt's life.
The river has carved out the rugged terrain of the Badlands, creating stunning vistas and diverse habitats.
Over 186 bird species have been recorded in the park, making it a prime location for bird enthusiasts.
In the 1930s, the CCC developed many of the park's trails and infrastructure, leaving a lasting legacy.
