This grassy bench above the Little Missouri River, east of the Maah Daah Hey and Long X Trail junction, is a quiet, scenic spot for dispersed camping. Flat, sheltered by junipers, and close enough to filter river water, it's ideal for thru-hikers stretching longer days—especially with the Long X waterbox nearby for reliable resupply. With picturesque views of the badlands and soft ground to pitch your tent, it's an unofficial site that feels both practical and peaceful.
