3Theodore Roosevelt And Badlands National Parks

A well-planned road trip to this pair of national parks in North and South Dakota, will also take you through the lesser-known Custer State Park.  Get a good look as you get stuck in an actual “bison traffic jam” and don’t forget to cruise past the presidents found in the Black Hills at Mount Rushmore.  Indeed, a young Theodore Roosevelt visited this territory in 1883 and became enamored with it.

The conservation ethic born in him there later shaped the country’s future conservation efforts.  Visit the rough and ready Badlands.  No other place is quite like it.  Most importantly, before heading off, be sure to purchase a National Park Pass that will provide you with unlimited entrances to all 422 US national parks, historical sites, and almost 1,500 federal recreation areas too, for a once-a-year cost.
