It is about an hour and a half drive between the North and South Units of TRNP. I spent a day at the North Unit hiking, taking in the views, and exploring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day started with a quick stop at the Cannonball Concretions, alien-looking balls of stone embedded in a cliff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there I drove to the end of the Scenic Drive to Oxbow Overlook and hiked out to Sperati Point. It’s an easy, rolling, out-and-back hike with beautiful views at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next was another quick stop at River Bend Overlook, with a beautiful stone structure looking out over the Little Missouri River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last part of the day was hiking the loop Caprock Coulee Trail. Unfortunately I didn’t get any photos of this hike because the wind was so fierce it was a struggle just to stay upright in some places, much less stand still and take a picture. The Caprock portion of the trail follows a cliff edge and offers expansive views. The Coulee section meanders through easy open meadow and a juniper forest to complete the loop back to the car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
