Bully bully Teddy! So thankful that TR was so dedicated to our national parks. I did not even know…read morethis park existed until my husband mentioned it a few months ago. We planned a road trip just to visit the north and south entrances of this park. It did not disappoint. It is a natural spectacle of beauty, nature and buffalo! It's like the Badlands and Yellowstone had a baby. Things I didn't see in many of the national parks that we have visited -the cap stones, mushrooms, and cannon balls. So many beautiful Buffalo up close and personal. We were also lucky enough to see the wild horses along with many prairie dogs and a solo coyote having an afternoon rest under a Cottonwood tree. The two entrances are about 60 miles apart (and do not connect to one another), but worth the drive. Make the trip!

There is quite literally nothing to do in the area and then you come across this beautiful vast land. We saw lots of wildlife throughout our visit as well as incredible views. This place takes you through quite a journey. It's truly spectacular.

The South Unit Visitor Center is located as soon as you drive through the entrance on the left. We…read morewere provided with a map when we drove in, although if you are not provided one at this time, you can get one inside the visitor center. There are volunteers that are helpful and can answer any questions you have about the park. There are signs outside that share more about Theodore Roosevelt. There is a 36 mile loop that you can drive around and take in the scenic landscape views and views of the wildlife. There are trails you can take in addition if you are feeling more adventurous. The visitor center has plenty of parking, bathrooms are in good condition, and it has a water station near the restroom so you can fill up your refillable water bottle if you are running low on water.

The S. Unit visitor center is the way to enter Theodore Roosevelt National Park from Medora. I was…read morehappy to see knowledgeable park volunteers answering questions & using the maps. The south unit is the largest of the three park sections in the mountain time zone. The Scenic Loop, Drive is 36 miles around although miles of the road are closed,so we could not loop we had to backtrack. The visitor center has information, a theater and a museum with natural history displays and some of Theodore Roosevelt personal items. In this section of the park is a dude ranch from the 1920s that was the headquarters of the WPA. Previously there were guided horseback rides from here. There is a wilderness section of the south unit and a petrified forest. These sections of the park cannot be reached by paved roads. The gravel dirt roads are difficult for vehicle vehicles.

Brochures range from ND State Historic Sites to the Black Hills and the Badlands vacation guides; so many options! Although it is a small visitor center, I was glad to see they had a bathroom and a small gift area.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park has a north and south unit. Due to the park being massive and the…read moretwo units being about an hour away from each other, allow time to fully explore both units. The north unit has a 14 mile loop I believe and the south unit is about a 36 mile loop. Both have lots of places to stop at and soak in the views. I've seen bison at both units and wild horses only at the south unit so far. Highly recommend visiting this park!

We stayed here for three nights while we were visiting Madora. What I can say about this hotel is…read moreit was so crowded because it was a busy summer season, but it was so quiet. I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and there was absolutely no noise which was wonderful. The beds were super comfy and the staff were so friendly. The gentleman at the front desk on the first night actually had wrote a book and was telling us all about it just really friendly. The kids use the pool and they loved that. I would say the only thing that they could work on is the ice machine machines were not working while we were there and then we had adjoining rooms cause we were a large group and the doors were so difficult to open. It's probably been a really long time since anybody has used the doors but other than that great place to stay if you're traveling to Madora definitely stay here.

Staff definitely needs to be trained better. Or they need to upgrade systems. I am amazed for as long as Medora has been around that lodging establishments are not more progressed. Warning, double check everything or travel there at your own risk with this hotel. Amazed Wyndam would let one of there franchised hotels act like they do and in a town that lives on tourists. They forget they are representing Medora and not just there hotel. Very much puts a sour taste in your mouth.

highly recommend Sarah Joy of Dickinson, North Dakota, as the best travel agent in the Midwest…read more From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our trip seamless and stress-free. Sarah is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and truly knowledgeable about travel planning. She not only saved us a significant amount of money, but she also secured complimentary excursions that made our experience even more memorable. Her communication was clear and prompt, and she handled every detail with professionalism and care. What really sets Sarah apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations. She has done our kids school trips as well. I will absolutely be working with her again for future travel plans and confidently recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional travel agent. -- Ross Messer
