White Butte, Mountain peak in Slope County, United States.

White Butte is the highest natural point in North Dakota, at 3,506 ft (1,069 m), in Slope County within the Badlands. It is a pale, roughly conical butte with a rounded, layered peak and steep sides cut by vertical ridges; its chalky gray-white surface shows darker shadows in the crevices, and lower hummocky mounds spread at its base.

White Butte lies in Slope County, about 6.5 miles south of Amidon and 3 miles east of U.S. 85, within the Little Missouri National Grassland. The butte is on private land owned by the Dennis family, who keep a donation receptacle at the parking area one mile north of the trailhead. The summit trail is a 4-mile round trip.

White Butte lies on private land owned by the Dennis family, who live nearby. At the parking area, one mile due north of the trailhead, the family keeps a small mailbox-like receptacle for donations and asks visitors for a $5 contribution to help maintain the area.

The route to the summit crosses private property, so stay on the marked trail and watch for cattle gates along the way. Wear sturdy footwear since the ground is uneven and weather can change quickly on the exposed hillside.

The Killdeer Mountains, about 75 miles (121 km) north, rise roughly 1,000 feet (300 m) from their foothills but are 225 feet (69 m) shorter than White Butte, so the state's highest ground lies in this corner of the Badlands. The summit sits within Little Missouri National Grassland, roughly 35 miles (56 km) south of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
