We had a little trouble finding the trailhead. Directions we found online didn't match up with what the GPS was telling us. Ended up just using the GPS coordinates from Wikipedia entered into the Garmin and it worked. This high point is on private land and there's an old mailbox at the beginning of the "road" leading up to the trailhead that your supposed to deposit $10 in. From there you follow a very primitive road (2 ruts through some pretty tall grass) that leads you two a gate. The trail us easy to find once you're through the gate and its a pretty easy hike to the top with a rewarding view. We didn't see any other people the whole trip. We came across one rattlesnake so watch where you step. Might not want to attempt the road in a passenger car - especially if it's muddy. Our all wheel drive minivan made it but we did bottom out a time or two.

Another Highpoint site. This point was a little confusing to get to because there was a sign that said White Butte and there was a road right near the sign, however, the actual road to the location was to the east of the sign on a well maintained sandy road. I repeat not the dirt road right next to a telecom tower or the sign. IF you hit dirt/mud you are on the wrong road.You need to pay at the site, it was suggested on Summitpost.org that the fee was twenty dollars - it is on private property, (there is an old mailbox that is locked but has a slit for money and we just put our money in a plastic ziplock with our car lic number and our names to identify we paid-- there is no pen or paper here so bring your own). The trial is not well marked but there is plenty of online information to get you to the location. It was cold the day we went so we did not see any snakes but read about the warnings. ONce at the top, it is an awesome view. It took us 2.5 hours (it was muddy, rainy, cold (snow was still at the top) and with the trail not marked a little exasperating) All that said it was worth the trip. On added note: I can't remember if there was a gas station in Amidon so make sure you have plenty of gas and go to the restroom, get your water etc. before hiking there are no facilities at this location. (You will be walking on an old road to the entrance of the site you can no longer drive to the gate area so that walk is quite a ways and again this is private property so no paved walkways etc not suitable for wheelchairs) Be careful with children lots of loose shale type rock. Great adventure for hikers.
