Theodore Roosevelt National Park quarter design
In August of 2015, the U.S. Mint revealed the final design for Theodore Roosevelt National Park quarter. As the fourth release for 2016, this beautiful quarter features Theodore Roosevelt on horseback near the Little Missouri River, which begins in Wyoming and runs through Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The park is located in southwestern North Dakota.
Divided into 3 separate areas, the South Unit, North Unit and Elkhorn Ranch Unit, this park is home to buffalo, wild horses, prairie dogs, elk and many other creatures. One of the more interesting ways visitors choose to explore the park is to take a 5-day canoe trip down the Little Missouri River. They begin at Medora near the South Unit and end at the Highway 85 bridge near the North Unit, 107 miles later. The Elkhorn Ranch Unit, the ranch Teddy Roosevelt considered his western “home,” is located between the South and North Units.
