Badlands Bison

The bison which reside in both the south and north units of Theodore Roosevelt National Park are a major attraction!   Watching large herds graze in the park makes one wonder what the countryside looked like 200 years ago, when it was reported bison covered the landscape to the horizon, and beyond.  Millions and Millions of Bison!

Our bison encounter in the north unit brought home the fact that this was their territory, not ours!   Check out this link:  We Woke Up In a Buffalo Herd!

Hiking To The Edge of Sentinel Butte, North Dakota Badlands

How far can one hike east on Sentinel Butte, elevation 3430 ft. in western North Dakota? To that small outcropping. With a tremendous view of Square Butte in the distance, Mike nears the turn around point of our hike on a beautiful summer day in western North Dakota.
