Dead, Dung and Dirt: Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Heading out after a big storm to the TRNP we found ourselves a perfect day, light breeze, blue sky's and high 70's gave us the perfect setting for a short hike on the central section of the roundup trail. 

We started along the norther park of the parks driving loop and headed towards the north boarder of the park along the roundup trail. The map said that it was about 1.2 miles till the trail crossed the roundup group campsite access road, where we thought would be a good place to turn back.

Our first exciting find, a dead deer.

Second was a dung beetle. Third was an incredible amount of dirt in all types and moisture levels(however unable to capture a picture of the diversity)

Spring Flowers have started and we found several cactus with these lovely yellow flowers.

Returning back to our car we took one last look at the very mini forest that the trail had taken us through!

Next stop a 0.8 viewing trail, Biocurt Overlook. The first 0.2 miles is accessible with a wide flat gravel trail complete with overlooks!

towards the end of the trail one heads up on a ridge

allowing a stretching view of these rolling plains amid the badlands. We encountered a park ranger out here who informed us that this is frequently a great place to spot herds of wild horses.

Trail: Roundup central section- A few challenging areas mostly due to mud, overall an easy hike.

Parking: You must pull off the road, no clear parking area to access it at the norther loop crossover. Marked, but you must be on the look out it would be easy to miss

Miles: 1.2 one way

Wildlife: Dung Beetle

Trail: Boicourt overlook - first section is accessible for all, the second section is an easy walk, however is fairly narrow, might not be the best for smaller children.

Parking: Clearly marked parking area just off of the loop

Miles: under 0.8 one way

Wildlife: none this time

The West is Wild Again

The West is Wild Again

In a place where once there were fields that stretched seemingly forever, rolling along to sharp valleys whispered to by the endless gust of wind one could find simple towns and lone farms, now have been shortened by greed, dangers abound, nothing is clan, ladies are few and news comes on trains.

Bright Colored Bridal Shower

For those of you have followed me for a while, I am getting married, and at some point I might even have the concentration to blog about the wedding planning. Over the weekend my mom held a lovely bridal shower for me with a bright colored theme, just so much fun!

Art - A - Whirl

A good friend of mine has an amazingly talented housemate who inspired them truing their NE Minneapolis home into an art gallery for Art-A-Whirl. The two of them took ordinary spaces and objects and created...

South Unit Visitor Center & Upper Talkington Trail

We had one of those perfect day early may and headed off to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, South Unit. Meeting a friend at the park we explored the visitor center while we waited.

The log cabin is open with the rooms decorated in the time era, giving you a chance to step back in time, with the exception of the divider glass and the few pieces that are clearly more recent =)

Visitor Center Education Space

Old Beef Processing Factory

Just west of the visitor center is a picnic area that was home to Medora's first beef processing plant, you can wander through remains of cold storage, loading areas and other such elements.

Baby Bison

After meeting up with a friend that drive to the trail head put us among a heard of bison who had several babes with them. Spring trips to the park are a must, with these cute little bison around.

Wild Horses

A highlight of our hike had to have been standing on a hill top looking at while horses looking across the field at a group of horseback riders(they were too spread out for the camera to capture).
