An equine welcoming committee nods to greet us as we drive into the (former) Theodore Roosevelt National Forest, deep in the badlands of North Dakota.

A National Forest, in North Dakota? There was one! Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 designated 13,940 acres of beautiful Ponderosa Pine in the southern North Dakota badlands as Dakota National Forest. In 1917 that designation was abolished. There are no structures remaining, but it's still as beautiful as ever. The property is now private land, owned by Logging Camp Ranch (which offers camping and cabin accommodations). You'll find it northwest of Amidon, North Dakota (1 mile west of Amidon on Highway 85, then a right turn on to a gravel road, follow for less than one mile, then take the first right ,which is another gravel road. Follow the road north about 11 miles, look for signs.) The forest is near the Burning Coal Veins Campground and Trailhead, one of our favorite places to catch the Maah Daah Hey Trail. It's one of the places highlighted on The Theodore Roosevelt Trail, from the Theodore Roosevelt Center in Dickinson, North Dakota.

Pick up a brochure about the trail at travel and rest centers in North Dakota, or get more information from the Theodore Roosevelt Center here: www.theodorerooseveltcenter.org
