Theodore Roosevelt National Park Loop
North Dakota
The Theodore Roosevelt National Park Loop is North Dakota’s official route for the Harley-Davidson 50 Rides Challenge. This scenic ride travels through the rugged North Dakota Badlands, where colorful rock formations, rolling prairies, and abundant wildlife create one of the most unique motorcycle experiences in the Midwest. Riders can enjoy sweeping scenic roads while exploring both the North Unit and South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
The official Harley-Davidson checkpoint is the Theodore Roosevelt National Park Entrance Sign, located at the North Unit near Watford City, North Dakota. Be sure to stop for your checkpoint photo before exploring one of America’s most beautiful national parks.
