zoom is super engaged here. You're looking at Square Butte... oh and some cows up there on the hill.

Square Butte is laccolith, a mass of igneous rock formed from magma that did not surface but instead spread out, forcing the overlying strata to bulge upward. There are alternating layers, light and dark bands that are each six to eight feet thick, throughout the formation. The volcanic activity that formed Square Butte was not unique to the area. In fact, three other laccolith intrusions—Cascade Butte, Fort Shaw Butte, and Crown Butte— are located within ten miles of Square Butte.

Square Butte, that was frequently used by western artist Charlie Russell in the backgrounds of his paintings.
