May 24

We went to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.  He was the President who started the National Park system.  We saw the small cabin he stayed in when he came here to hunt and rest.  The rest of the park contains trails to walk or drive, horse trails and waterways to boat.

We spent the rest of the day driving through Montana.  Tomorrow: Yellowstone NP and more!
