White Butte North Dakota's Highpoint Trail

#1 - White Butte North Dakota's Highpoint Trail

Bowman, North Dakota

easy

(100)

Length: 3.4 mi • Est. 1 h 21 m

Note: From the parking area, follow a cattle fence for the next mile toward White Butte - which you should be able to clearly see off in the distance. For those state peak baggers out there... here's a short fun one! An extremely easy highpoint to nab, although getting there can be somewhat of a challenge. Don't forget to leave a donation in the mailbox! (see below)Show more
