AUTO TOURING THE PARK We drove the thirty-mile paved loop through the park. Saw many prairie dogs, a couple of herds of feral horses, a large herd of bison, and a couple of elks. Whenever there was a pullover stop with a short hike, we did it. This is a nice way to see all this National Park has to offer.

PETRIFIED FOREST TRAIL LOOP This 10.3-mile hike takes you through ancient petrified forests and badlands wilderness. The loop includes the North and South Petrified Forest Trails as well as the Maah Daah Hey Trail. We actually logged 11miles due to a little confusion finding a critical trail marker near the North Petrified and Maah Daah Hey trails intersection. This hike's trailhead is located in the remote northwest corner of the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
