This is one of many short hiking highlights along the Scenic Loop Drive in Theodore Roosevelt National Park - South Unit.

Old East Entrance Station, built in 1938, was the original entrance to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, but the entrance of the park was moved to Medora when the Interstate replaced Highway 10 in 1968.

There are no roads leading to the old entrance building, except for a hiking trail starting at a parking lot off Scenic Loop Drive. The hike crosses prairie dog territory, which is a fun sight during your hike.

This is the site of the Old East Entrance Station, which was one of the original entrances to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It was built in 1938, but the entrance was moved in 1968 when the interstate was built.

The is no road to the entrance, only a path, so it is a nice, quiet way to see the national park.
