North Dakota Badlands from Theodore Roosevelt Expressway, July 2015

Theodore Roosevelt Expressway offers a route through the rugged North Dakota badlands, a landscape shaped by millions of years of erosion. These geological formations, characterized by colorful strata and steep slopes, are part of the Little Missouri National Grassland. The expressway, completed in stages, provides access to this remote region, allowing travelers to witness its unique topography. The area is also historically significant as it was once home to Theodore Roosevelt, who ranched here in the late 19th century.
