About Camel Buttes

The Camel Buttes are a small mountain range located in the northwestern corner of North Dakota, near the border with Montana. The range is characterized by gently rolling hills and low-profile peaks, formed primarily from sedimentary rock and glacial deposits. The terrain is generally smooth and accessible, with occasional steeper ridges and rocky outcrops. Vegetation is dominated by hardy grasses, shrubs, and scattered stands of pine and juniper trees. The Camel Buttes sit at the edge of the Great Plains, transitioning to more rugged badlands and canyons to the west.
