Sunset at Ridgeline Trail - Theodore Roosevelt National Park


We chose to watch the final sunset of our first visit to Theodore Roosevelt National Park on the bench at the end of the Ridgeline Trail in the South Unit. To reach the trail from the visitor center in Medora, drive north on East River Road for 6.4 miles where the road becomes Scenic Loop Drive. Drive an additional 4.1 miles to a marked pullout on the right. The west-facing bench is just over 1/3 mile up the easy to moderate trail.

















An entrance fee of $25 admits all the passengers of a single vehicle for seven days to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Other entrance fee options include a Theodore Roosevelt National Park Annual Park Pass for $50, an Every Kid in a Park 4th Grade Pass for free and a variety of America the Beautiful - National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Passes providing access to most national park, national forest, and BLM fee areas
  • Annual Pass for $80
  • Military Pass for free
  • Lifetime Senior Pass for $80 or $20 annually for those age 62 and older
  • Access Pass for free for visitors with a permanent disability
An entrance fee is not collected at the Painted Canyon Visitor Center.
