Oxbow Overlook

The ease with which wildlife can be seen in this part of Theodore Roosevelt National Park is matched only by zoos.

The Oxbow Overlook is at the end of the 14 mile road in the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Bathroom facilities are available. Three picnic tables are at the site. The only issue with having a picnic there is the strong prairie wind. If you are going to eat a picnic lunch there plan accordingly with your food choices. The views as expected are fantastic.

Caprock-Coulee Trail

Take this self-guiding hiking trail through the North Dakota wilderness; at just under five miles in length, it won't wear you out.

Reviewed By gingersnaps527 - Spearfish, United States

This is a beautiful and, as it turned out, an exciting hike. We were hiking and taking plenty of photos on the well-maintained trail. On the way back, we spotted three buffalo on the trail. The buffalo saw us as well. We hike up a ridge and waited them out. This was a good lesson for me as I wore regular tennis shoes rather that hiking boots. There was a ton of cacti everywhere on the ridge. Always be prepared even if you think you're going on an easy hike!
