Blue Buttes

The Blue Buttes are a small, isolated mountain range located in northwestern North Dakota. The range consists primarily of rolling hills and grasslands, with occasional rugged sandstone buttes and cliffs rising above the surrounding prairie. Elevations in the Blue Buttes generally range from 2,000 to 3,000 feet, with the highest point being Bluebell Butte at 2,985 feet. The terrain is characterized by steep-sided hills, narrow ravines, and exposed rock formations, offering a unique landscape compared to the vast flatlands of the Great Plains that surround the range.
