Information on Theodore Roosevelt National Park :

Theodore Roosevelt visited the North Dakota badlands in 1883. During that bison hunting trip he fell in love with the rugged lifestlye and the "freedom" of the West. Over time he acquired two large ranches. He enjoyed his time ranching and hunting and detailed his experiences in several articles published in eastern magazines and newspapers. He also detailed his experiences in 3 different books. His experiences influenced the conservation policies he put in place during his time as President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. After his death, in 1919, the badlands were explored to determine possible park sites. Over the next fifty years three units were identified and established as the Theodore Roosevelt National park. The park has scenic drives, foot trails, horse trails, wildlife viewing, back country hiking and camping. They are home to many animals including bison, mountain lions, wild horses, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, prairie dogs and over 186 species of birds.

Information on the United States Mint America the Beautiful Silver Quarters Program:

From 2010 through 2021 the US Mint is issuing commemorative quarters with special reverse designs celebrating National Parks and other National Sites. A park or site is being honored in each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the five US Territories: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands. Each National Park or National Site was selected for its natural or historical significance. The National Park Silver Quarters are being minted and issued at the rate of 5 designs a year, in approximately ten week intervals. The National Park Silver Quarters are being released in the order that the locations were first designated as National Sites. The Obverse side of the coins feature a smaller restoration of the original Washington Silver Quarter portrait, modeled from designer John Flanagan's 1932 plaster. The Reverse of each coin will feature a representation of the unique character and environment of each State, District, or Territory's National Park or Historic Site.
