White Butte, Slope County, North Dakota



Here is the tallest geological formation (3,506') in what is North Dakota. I snapped this photo this afternoon, after a routine archaeological survey in the Bad Lands. I linked to Wikipedia's version of White Butte, too. And you thought Montana was Big Sky country...

beautiful snap, but were you on top of the hill or is that the hill off in the distance?

My Frontier Thesis said...

Yeah, that's the hill off in the distance. I should've specified. If you click on the link (provided by clicking, as usual, on the title), it'll take you to a couple wiki pics on top of the butte.

thx. we ought to go out there on a drinkspedition someday

My Frontier Thesis said...

Good idea. I always recommend carrying scotch or whiskey over beer on drinkspeditions, as pound-for-pound the liquor is easier to carry when scaling anything or hiking into anywhere.

I've wondered about public access to that point, though. There was a section line where I took the pic, but nothing posted as to public or private access.
