Badlands Conservation Alliance will host an autumn hike to East Twin Butte on Sunday, September 18, 2022, led by Prairie Fire Pottery’s Tama Smith, a member of the board of directors.

Meet that day at 11 a.m. MT at I 94 Exit 10 (Camels Hump/Sentinel Butte exit) where hikers will car-pool for a moderately difficult day hike. Bring water and snacks and whatever else you need for an all-afternoon adventure. Hiking shoes are recommended.

The approximately 3-hour hike starts off with a gradual prairie grass saunter up to the saddle of East Twin Butte, but once hikers cross over the saddle, the terrain will be more challenging upon entering the Hell Creek geological formation of the western ND badlands.

For more information on the hike and the Twin Buttes area, see the Badlands Conservation Alliance at BadlandsConservationAlliance.org.

RSVPs are needed so we don’t leave anyone behind at the car parking site or can notify participants if plans change. For RSVPs and questions, call 701-260-0326.
