Museum of the Rockies
Today we visited the Museum of the Rockies, home of the famous T-Rex specimen. We expected to spend a couple of hours here but there was so much to see and read we ended up staying the entire morning. It was terrific.
Here’s a link to an album of photos.
Beartooth Highway
The Beartooth Highway has been on my travel destination list for many years and we finally made it. The voyage did not disappoint. What marvelous scenery. At almost 11,000 feet the views were spectacular and ever so varied. There were extensive plateaus, snow-covered peaks, glacial lakes, deep valleys….
Dickinson to Billings
Today was a leisurely 318-mile drive from Dickinson, ND to Billings, MT. We arrived early enough to stop by Zoo Montana which turned out to be a disappointment. There were few animals although the two bears were entertaining.

TRNP – Day Two
We spent all morning and part of the afternoon in the South section of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The terrain was a bit more interesting than the North section and we say countless bison –some very up-close–, wild horses, and prairie dogs.
Theodore Roosevelt NP – North
We spend the morning visiting the North unit of TRNP. It was OK, but not as interesting or as colorful as the South Dakota Badlands. And we saw very few animals.
Made it! North Dakota
We arrived in Medora in early afternoon, with enough time for a short visit stop the Theodore Roosevelt National Park South Unit Visitor Center to get our bearings. In addition to countless prairie dogs, we also saw some lovely wild horses.
Off to North Dakota
First day of our adventure to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Today’s segment took us 543 miles to Butte, Montana. We had dinner at Casagranda’s Restaurant, the same place
we ate on our 2013 trip to the South Dakota Badlands. The meal was superb, again.
