We rolled into Sully Creek State Park outside the little village of Medora, North Dakota, looking forward to a three-night stay. Once parked, we realized the promised water hookup was missing. What the heck? After a quick chat with the ranger, we realized that we must have received bad intel. Nobody else in the campground had a water hookup either. Off we went to fill our water tank.
Wednesday the plan was to check out the southern section of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Thursday we’d visit the north section of the park. After days of sitting, we were looking forward to stretching our legs with some hiking. Reg chose a 5-mile trail loop trail that would lead us atop a plateau where an expansive view awaited. We didn’t get far before the Little Missouri River stopped us in our tracks, bisecting the trail with an impassable expanse of muddy water..
Bison are a big attraction in this park and they roam freely. Guests are warned to be on the lookout and to keep a safe distance. Fortunately, we didn’t see anyone misbehaving as a herd swarmed the roadway in front of us.
Our last stop for the day was Wind Canyon Trail pullout where we walked just far enough to reach the high spot to take in yet another view.
Stay tuned for highlights of our visit to the north section.
