Description

Today we visit the North Dakota Badlands where the too often overlooked Theodore Roosevelt National Park lingers in the shadows... 

While there, we answer the following questions: 

• How did Theodore Roosevelt come to have a National Park named after him? 
• Why is this sidelined National Park unique? 
• Why should you add this fascinating park to your travel bucket list?  

We'll also answer listener questions at the end - safe travels!
