Drive to Roosevelt National Park

We bade goodbye to the grand mountains of Glacier National Park and started our journey east towards Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. The mountain range ended abruptly in the flat prairies which accompanied us all the way to Medora, ND. We received some break from the wheat fields and grasslands by the Little Belt Mountain on the way. It was mostly a desolate stretch with us sighting more cattle than people.

After 11 hours of drive through lonely stretches of Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota, the town of Medora was a pleasant sight. Dedicated to tourism, the town is built to look like a Hollywood set of good old West – with its Saloons, Taffy stores and western gift galleries.

We checked into the Badland Motel with good views of the Badlands of Roosevelt National Park.
