MEDORA, N.D. – Love national parks? There's a holiday for that! National Park Week is happening April 19 to April 27 this year. Entrance fees will be waived on April 19, 2025, to kick off the celebration and to encourage everyone to enjoy their national parks in person.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is celebrating National Park Week with a trio of exciting events offering opportunities for adventure, exploration, and giving back to nature. Mark your calendars and join us!
Junior Ranger Day – April 19, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM MST Calling all young explorers! Celebrate Junior Ranger Day at Peaceful Valley Ranch in the South Unit.

Guided Hike – April 20, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM MST Join Ranger Peelee for a special National Park Week guided hike on Sunday, April 20. This 4-mile round-trip adventure will take you to the park’s only sandstone arch, offering incredible views along the way. Expect a moderate 2 to 2.5-hour hike. Meet at the Halliday Well Trailhead, located at Mile 7 on the South Unit Scenic Drive. Wear sturdy hiking boots, bring plenty of water, and dress for the weather.
Spring Clean-Up Day – April 26, 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM MST Help keep Theodore Roosevelt National Park beautiful by joining our Spring Clean-Up Day. Volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate. Meet at the South Unit Visitor Center in Medora, ND, and lend a hand as we clear debris and spruce up the park for the season. We’ll provide gloves and garbage bags — just bring sturdy hiking boots, water, and weather-appropriate gear.
National parks and communities are ever-changing. Whether it is in nature, history, opportunities to experience places, or our journeys, public lands offer visitors an environment to transform and grow.
