The Border Ranges are the southernmost subdivision of the Canadian Rockies surrounding the borders of the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, as well as the border of the U.S. state of Montana.[1][2] It includes the MacDonald Range in British Columbia and Montana west of the Flathead River and east of the Wigwam River, the Clark Range straddling the British Columbia-Alberta-Montana borders east of the Flathead River, and the Galton Range in British Columbia and Montana on the west side of the Wigwam River.[2][3][4][5]
