Midwest 2022: Theodore Roosevelt National North Park

Some 60 miles drive from the south entrance to the north, got us immediate sighting of two Bison right at the entrance – and many more through the park! But the highlight here is a geological feature called Cannonball Concretions which are amazing and well worth the long drive up from Medora!

While we were at the concretions, a small herd of Bison came out of the long grass and passed us, across the parking lot and then the road, heading off into meadows below us! Separated from the cars we and another family stood quietly up on the hill of the concretions and watched them all go by – I video’ed the event:

Midwest 2022: Devil’s Tower

Another big highlight of the trip (of course we watched Close Encounters before flying out here); this “mountain” is just as spectacular as the images show, and it’s wonderful to walk around it and see all the different angles and shapes! Our first view is about ten miles away – and we walk to within maybe 100ft!

(I should have shaped my ice-cream to match the tower!)
