Number 4 in our Erratic Behaviour series.
If you look to the West and slightly to the South, you will see a large rock that is not native to this part of Alberta. It is not exposed bedrock, but a "glacial erratic." This is part of the Foothills Erratics Train, one of thousands of such stones, composed of quartzite, that piggybacked on a giant glacier/ice sheet during the last glaciation of Alberta, moving from their original location in the mountains near Jasper, Alberta. As the ice slowly moved over thousands of years, it brought these rocks with it, and at the end of Alberta'a last ice age as the climate warmed and the ice melted, it dropped them on the prairies.
