May 7-9, day 4-6: Theodore Roosevelt National Park

bison close to our camp!
Stayed at Cottonwood campground in Theodore Roosevelt National Park:  A short day, we drove to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and stayed at the park’s Cottonwood campground.  A small herd of bison greeted us as we entered the campground, and grazed around the camp sites throughout our stay.  The park is spectacular and easy to see how President Roosevelt grew so fond of it.  The campground is delightful, and wildlife is abundant in the park – in addition to bison, we saw wild horses, black tail prairie dogs, coyotes, wild turkeys, mule deer, pronghorn (antelope) and several birds.   

May 9: stayed in Hazen, ND:  We left Cottonwood campground this morning and drove the scenic drive through the North unit of THRO NP.  Beautiful vistas and, you guessed it, more bison!  A great park.  We’re back on the road after a couple of days break.  



Chaco and Jesse see their first bison, up close and personal... they weren't sure what to think of it!
