The Rocky Mountain Front is a somewhat unified geologic and ecosystem area in North America where the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains meet the plains. In 1983, the Bureau of Land Management called the Rocky Mountain Front "a nationally significant area because of its high wildlife, recreation, and scenic values". Conservationists Gregory Neudecker, Alison Duvall, and James Stutzman have described the Rocky Mountain Front as an area that warrants "the highest of conservation priorities" because it is largely unaltered by development and contains "unparalleled" numbers of wildlife.

  • Le Rocky Mountain Front (Front des montagnes rocheuses) est une zone qui s'étend sur 160 km entre le Montana et le sud de l'Alberta. C'est dans cette zone tampon que les Rocheuses rejoignent les Grandes plaines avec une baisse de dénivellation rapide pouvant atteindre 1524 mètres. Le chevauchement de Lewis souleva le sol et forma ainsi la cordillère de Lewis Range. Aussi connue comme la Couronne du Continent, la région se caractérise par un écosystème composé de prairies et de flores alpines. La majorité de cette région se situe dans la parc national de Glacier, dans la forêt nationale de Lewis et Clark et la réserve indienne des Pieds-Noirs.
