Mud Buttes are a group of low hills 15 kilometers south east of Caronation. It is an isolated pocket of badlands about two kilometers long and 800 metres wide, and is one of North America's largest and best exposed site of glacially deformed bedrock.
The spectacular folds and faults seen here are formed by the push from advancing glaciers, and provide excellent information about thederection of flow of glaciers during the last Ice Age.
