There were some very impressive uphills that day.
That border crossing is called Chief Mountain. Thought it looked familiar. I’ve crossed in both directions.
Yes. There is some impressive climbing in the Belly River Valley. Not long after leaving Waterton there’s something like a 6 mile climb heading towards the US border. Going in the other direction, our ACA map warned us not to take the hills for granted after crossing Going to the Sun the day before.
Nice scenery though. I’ll try to post some photos from my desktop.

Looking up the first climb.
Looking back down the first climb.
Shortly before or after the border crossing.
Chief Mountain itself. Sacred to the Blackfoot Nation.
