Conglomerate boulder on hilltop
Just about anywhere you look in the valley bottom of the Crowsnest Pass you will find large errant boulders laying about. They have been left, for the most part, where they first landed but sometimes they get shoved off to the side or used for obstructions to keep red necks off of non-motorized trails.

It is a monstrous conglomerate chunk of rock from the Cadomin formation and it sits on top of the hill near my present home in Coleman. The reason I can say it is an erratic is because it doesn’t belong where it is. It is now confined to the Mountain View Industries compound, surrounded by a chain link fence.
