Written Directions

Start your route in Medora, ND and head north on East River Road into Theodore Roosevelt Park. Go about 7 miles and take a right on Scenic Loop Drive. Now you'll be heading east and this road will eventually swing north and then finally turn west and run right back into East River Road where you need to take a left and head back down south for about 4 miles and you will see Scenic Loop Drive on the left and this is where you turned off of East River Road in the first place and now you've completed the loop.

Scenery

This route is a scenic loop that goes travels through the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It starts out in historic Medora, ND and the beautiful Badlands region of ND (much prettier than SD badlands region). In addition to the beuaty of the land you'll also see wildlife such as prairie dogs, deer, and buffalo.

Drive Enjoyment

Is a good road in the park with sweepers and grade changes, and a few tight corners. Tourist cars tend to keep your speed in check during the summer. M-F least traffic.

Tourism Opportunities

Nothing in the park itself, but the town of Medora is located at the entrance where you can find food and gas.

Beautiful ride. The park has completed road repairs on the rough parts and did a good job, but be aware of loose gravel. Fun ride, great view, and plenty of wildlife to see.
