Scenery near the Alberta/Montana border

Can't remember which side of the Canada/US border this quick shot was taken, from a moving car. Gives an idea of the kind of scenery in that area. Taken on 11 September 2012, the first day of a week's holiday in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

"The peak is easily seen from Montana and Alberta due to the rapid 5,000 foot (1,524 m) altitude gain over the Great Plains which are immediately east of the mountain. Despite the mountain's being mostly in Montana, the distinctive eastern face quickly becomes hidden as one travels south into Montana, but remains very easy to see on clear days over much of southern Alberta. Hence, many businesses in the area (notably Lethbridge) have "Chief Mountain" in their name.

Chief Mountain is an example of a klippe. It consists of a Precambrian block which rests directly above much younger Cretaceous gray shales. The surrounding portion of the thrust sheet has been removed by erosion leaving behind this isolated block of Proterozoic rock." From Wikipedia.
