As I came home from a trip north the other day, this was the scene that stopped me in my tracks. These are the Square Buttes north of Mandan, as viewed from Highway 1804 on the east side of the river.

There’s a little bit more information at Double Ditch on the Square Buttes, and I was going to share it with you but I decided not to. Instead, I encourage you to head north to the Double Ditch historic site and check it out for yourself! You’ll be pleasantly surprised at this very neat scenic opportunity.
