Coeur d'Alene Mountains

The Coeur d'Alene Mountains are a rugged mountain range located in western Montana, near the Idaho border. This range is part of the larger Bitterroot Mountain system and features steep, forested slopes, deep canyons, and numerous alpine lakes. The terrain is primarily composed of granite and metamorphic rock, sculpted by glacial activity during the last ice age. Elevations in the range typically vary from around 4,000 feet in the valleys to over 8,000 feet at the highest peaks.
