Not a Butte, a laccolith

Bear Butte juts up out of the rolling plains.  The trail to the summit was rocky and steep but the view from the top made it well worth it.  We could see for miles.

Trees and shrubs across the Butte are dotted with colorful bits of cloth left in tribute by First Nations’ Peoples as they have done for generations.  This is holy ground for them.
