By the first part of July, we made it to our farthest point north. Our trip to Lewis & Clark State Park in Epping, North Dakota had beautiful scenery and the campground had some beautiful surroundings.
As we headed to South Dakota, it was amazing how flat and wide open the roads were. For much of the time we had the road to ourselves.
We did see quite a few Pronghorn along the road as we traveled out of North Dakota.
Our first stop in South Dakota was in Belle Fourche. This is designated as the geographic center of the nation by NOAA. We stayed at the Rocky Point Recreation area. The campground was beautiful. Our site backed up right to the water. The views and the sunsets were absolutely gorgeous.
While were were in Belle Fouche, we took a ride over to Devils Tower in Wyoming. President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower as the first national monument on September 24, 1906. Able to seen from a stretch of 50 miles in any direction, its summit towers at an impressive elevation of 5,112 feet and was formed out of molten rock from a volcano. Much to my surprise, as I walked around the Tower trail, I realized that there were people climbing the tower. The views from the backside of the tower trail were amazing. I can only imagine what the views that the climbers see. I think I’ll let them tell me when they come down. On the way out of the park, we had a chance to watch some prairie dogs at play!
