Just before reaching the head of the cañon, the road wound round a high butte.

The evening of the tenth day, he reached a very high butte, thickly wooded at the summit.

About sundown he decided to camp under some high buttes.

The ground steadily broke into shallow gullies and high buttes surrounded by erosional slopes and gravel fans.

Then they went hunting, and Old Man led them on the high buttes, where it was very cold.

Back of the pasture lay a range of low mountains, the Sweet Grass they were called, in which several high buttes towered like sentinels.

"We climbed the highest butte we could find, and could not see a buffalo or Indian; nothing but prairie for twenty miles around us."
