Theodore Roosevelt National Park Self-Guided Audio Tour

What your day looks like

Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will function as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map all in one. Purchase one tour per car, not per person. Everyone listens together. The main tour explores the South Unit of this park but also features a few bonus stops in the more remote North Unit. Kick off your journey at the South Unit Visitor Center, where you'll get acquainted with the park's layout and history. Next, visit Maltese Cross Cabin, Theodore Roosevelt's rugged home in the Dakotas. Continue to Medora Overlook for spectacular views and birdwatching opportunities. Then, stop at Prairie Dog Metropolis to watch these energetic creatures at play. Skyline Vista then provides a perfect spot for panoramic photographs. Next, you’ll cruise alongside the Little Missouri River and learn about the ancient peoples of this region, before swinging by the awe-inspiring Wind Canyon Trail. Dive into Roosevelt’s history in this region as you make your way to the beautiful Boicourt Overlook. Then you’ll have the option to explore the terrain on foot at Buck Hill Trail. Along the way, you’ll get to know wild characters like the Marquis de Morès, relive the true story of Roosevelt’s encounter with dangerous boat thieves, and much more. At last, you’ll arrive at the Old East Entrance Trail, where your tour will conclude. But the adventure doesn’t have to end there! This tour also features a bonus journey through the North Unit of Teddy Roosevelt National Park. Here, you’ll find extra trails, overlooks, and stories to round out your visit.
