Drive or Ride North Unit Scenic Drive, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota

Plan at least 1 hour and 15 minutes for th North Unit's out-and-back Scenic Drive (28 miles roundtrip). The first half of the road traces the bottom of the badlands. Midway through, it crawls up out of the canyon to the North Unit's most iconic view, River Bend Overlook. From there, it's an easy drive along the rim of the badlands to Oxbow Overlook at the road's end. The road is almost entirely paved with only one stretch of gravel and is open to motor vehicles (including RVs) and cyclists.
