A few weeks ago Tessa was telling me about a trip she booked near Grassy Butte, ND with the girls where they were going to stay in a remote cabin on a ranch and then hike one of the trails in the North Unit of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I thought that sounded like an amazingly fun time, so naturally I invited myself along. 😬
Tessa okayed me tagging along with Reagan and Elise and I took Friday afternoon off of work to make it as far as Tessa's so that we could depart right away when the girls got home from school.
We pulled off near Beulah to stretch our legs and for a photo op.
The cabin we stayed in was just perfect. We did end up stopping at a neighbor farm to get some directions, after which we pulled into the ranch and found the Cedar Post cabin where we were staying. It was so well furnished, clean and nicely decorated. And it even had a hot tub!
We had a cozy night in and got up and going the next morning for the hike in the park. We wanted to get a closer look at the butte on the ranch before we headed out.

It was a pretty chilly morning and rained off and on during our 4.2-mi. hike, but it was still really fun. It was a great time of year to do it as the fall colors seems to be at their peak right now.
