Jeff made a delicious breakfast, then we went into town to get ice. We got back into the Park and drove the Scenic Drive and stopped at all the pullouts. Photos can’t do justice to the layers of the land in the distance. We hiked about a mile out to a prairie dog town, then back to the campsite to relax. The campground host stopped by and visited for at least an hour and we got to play with his cute doggy. Also, Amy went to the ranger talk which was about cowboys and ranching in this area. What a fun day!!
So many layers of rock! And none of it is old enough to hold dinosaur fossils in this area. 
One of the CCC projects. 
This guy was grazing along the side of the roars all by himself. He was probably the same bison that has wandered near the edge of the campground an hour earlier. 
National Park selfie! 
This is the Little Missouri River. You can see the floodplain from here. As the river changes course, the silt it leaves behind include cottonwood seeds so there are bands of same age cottonwoods in a lot of areas. That is one way scientist can track the path of the river over the years. 
CCC project. It is amazing that these structure hold up so well in the windy and cold climate here. 
You can see the blue-black layer very easily around the park. The color stands out. 
Amy loves taking flower photos. 
A buffalo was posing for the motorists. 
Watch where you walk when on the paths. You never know when a buffalo had just been through. 
Trying out Daddy’s binoculars. 
Prickly pear cactus 
The prairie dogs were so cute! 
My boys! 
These are cannonball concretions. No one knows how they form, but the rock is more solid than the surrounding rock so it stays intact as the land around it erodes. Then eventually they roll down the butte. These were about 3 feet in diameter.
