I visited the North Unit of Roosevelt National Park with family and was blown away by its rugged beauty and wildlife. The park offers a 14 mile stretch of paved roadway that takes you through the park. There are also many walking trails throughout the park. Definitely stop at the entrance before going in and pick up a map. Entrance fee is only 10$ per vehicle. The park has about 3-4 scenic overlooks where you can park and walk out to get great pictures and view wildlife. We were able to see several bison, a buffalo crossing the road, mule deer, and big-horned sheep. We drove about four hours from Minot to see the park. Definitely worth the long drive!

After visiting the south entrance we took a day and headed to the northern entrance...glad we did, it was beautiful. Stop at the Visitors Center and watch the 12 minute video before taking the drive. The scenic vistas provided views of the rugged badlands terrain and the Little Missouri River. There is a picnic spot next to the campground that has shade and restrooms. It is a 70 mile drive from the south to the north, but well worth the drive.

My family and I went through the North and South Unit of the forest.The South Unit was by far our favorite. But the North Unit was nice! Lots of scenery, but we didn't see as many animals in the North Unit as we did in the South.If you plan to go in the trails and it has rained recently, the mud will be very slippery since it has clay with it. We expected it to be a little slippery since we were on a steep hill, but I was surprised on how slippery it really was. Use that restroom as you enter the park! The only bathrooms are in the camping area and the visiter center, and there are not many private bushes!

When we arrived, we first saw long horn cattle in the fields. As we got close to the amazing cannonball concretions stop, we saw two large buffalo headed in our direction until they decided to make turn right. It was magnificent seeing them.The oxbow overlook was beautiful. We drove to the end of the road enjoying at times the river views.The sun shone in and out through the clouds. Teddy Roosevelt National Park to me feels like an artist's easel. The colors that show through as the sun shines differently on the formations is breathtaking.Although the road leading to/from the park is busy due to the boom in the energy industry, the north unit is definitely worthy of seeing and spending time there. It is a great national park if one gives it the attention it deserves.We have an annual national park pass so used that to enter the park. If one does not have an annual park pass, one pays a day use fee when they enter the park.There are camping opportunities in the park. We ourselves stayed in Medora - a cute town close to the South Unit of the park.

Drove the scenic road at sunset and the views rivaled later ones we experienced in Glacier NP. The colors of the sediment layers and sky lit up strikingly against passing rain clouds. Stayed in Juniper campground and we were almost overrun by buffalo who mistook one of our party member's snoring for rival snorts and grunts. Only narrowly avoided an incident by slapping them awake several times and waiting for the buffalo to wander off. Shocked to find hoof prints 5 inches from our tents the next morning. Made for a great campfire story! The only downside of this part of the park is the heavy traffic just outside on the highway. We nearly got plowed into on multiple occasions entering and leaving the park by huge trucks returning to the oil fields. The drivers were reckless and rude, tailgating both of our cars and leaning on their horns despite the fact we were going over the speed limit in heavy fog.

was very surprised by how pretty this park is. saw more buffalo than you can imagine. they were blocking the road most of the way around. you can camp in this park but I think I would prefer to stay on beaten path!

Less developed than the south unit, but equally gorgeous. Our only disappointment was not seeing any Long Horn sheep.

The north unit was very quiet, we probably saw 5 other cars driving around. The scenic drive divides vast green grasslands on one side and huge canyon views on the other side. The views at oxbow overlook were amazing and the geology at the cannonball concretions stop was fascinating. Well worth the drive up from the south unit!

North unit quiet and peaceful, saw some wildlife was on motorcycle and was beautiful left too late in day due to weather for South Park will do next time out. Park ranger very helpful wish we would have had more time

We had been here once before years ago and thought we'd go thru the park again as it was on the way to our destination. It's a lovely quite park with great views! Saw many birds, butterflies, mosquitos and 2 bison but no other wildlife. The scenery is quite lovely with many wild flowers, I'd never seen before, in full bloom.
