The Golden Calf The Golden Calf by Clay Gish Glaring, a massive bison bull strutted toward me while I snapped photo after photo. “Roll up the window!” my spouse yelled. Reluctantly, I did as told. The bull snorted and turned to threaten the next human. Around me, other drivers faced off against a squad of equally fearsome bulls. The line of cars lengthened on either side of the road,
stuck in a bison traffic jam. No one dared honk a horn for fear of setting off the giant, shaggy guards. In the center of it all, gazing around with curiosity and wonder, stood a small fuzzy golden calf. Who knows how long the face-off would have endured? Finally, the calf’s mother took the situation into her own hands (hooves, that is); she walked into the road and nudged her little one to a grassy area on the side. On spindly legs, the calf trotted after her, oblivious to the problem he had caused. The team of bulls swaggered after them, releasing the cars to continue on their way. Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Medora, North Dakota may well be the most exciting, unusual place in the national park system. Home to roaming herds of bison, the park bursts with a vitality befitting its namesake. Though set in a region known as “the badlands,” I encountered a landscape that conjured up fairy castles more than outlaws. A labyrinth of candy-colored mountains — ribbons of creamy sandstone with stripes of pink and green sediment — created a magical backdrop for wild west adventures. My first stop of the day was at the South Unit Visitor Center just inside the park perimeter. Rangers armed me with maps and information about the local flora and fauna. A small museum featured exhibits on the history, nature, and geology of the region.
