We decided to view our second sunset in Theodore Roosevelt National Park from the Boicourt Overlook on the Scenic Loop Drive. To reach the overlook from the visitor center drive 6.4 miles north on East River Road then turn left to remain on East River Road. Drive another 4.2 miles on East River Road before turning right onto Scenic Loop Drive. Continue 4.8 miles east on Scenic Loop Drive to a marked pullout on the right. We visited the park in August 2017.
