KM#(D): KM#(S):
The American President Theodore Roosevelt founded the US Forest Guard service with an Act of Congress in 1906, his job was to preserve and protect places considered "Natural Treasures", such as the places known as Badland, which today They are named after Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
The Badlands are arid terrains with clay-rich soil that has been badly eroded by wind and rain over millions of years.

Ravines, valleys, riverbeds are common elements of these landscapes, with great contrasts between the bluish black of the coal on the surface and the reddish tones of the clay.
Giant herds of American bison inhabited these lands in the mid-19th century, of which some 400 wild specimens remain today, since they were on the verge of being extinguished by the hand of the white man.
Like the motif chosen by the State of Kansas, North Dakotans have wanted to pay tribute to this emblematic animal that once ruled the great plains of the State.
