Painted Canyon Overlook and Visitors
Center
|
Before visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park (a pay
attraction,) orient yourself at the Painted Canyon Overlook, a
visitors’ center and nature trail near Medora. Here on the upper
margin of the badlands is a magnificent panorama of the broken
topography in its colorful hues. At the overlook, a visitor center,
restrooms, picnic shelters, tables, and water are available
generally April through October. A short walk provides access during
winter when facilities are closed. East of Painted Canyon you can
sometimes see wild horses, the descendants of former domestic
ranching stock. From here, a paved, thirty-six-mile scenic drive
offers a panorama of the park.
