Big Rock, Okotoks, Alberta, Canada
Big Rock (also known as either Okotoks Erratic or, by the Blackfoot, as Okotok) is a 16,500-tonne (18,200-ton) boulder that is about the size of a two-story house and lies on the otherwise flat, relatively featureless, surface of the Canadian Prairies in Alberta. It is part of the 930-kilometre-long (580 mi) Foothills Erratics Train of typically angular boulders of distinctive quartzite and pebbly quartzite.
This massive angular boulder, which is broken into two main pieces, measures about 41 by 18 meters (135 by 60 feet) and is 9 m (30 ft) high. It consists of thick-bedded, micaceous, Feld spathic quartzite that is light grey, pink, to purplish. Besides having been extensively fractured by frost action, it is unweather. Big Rock lies about 8 km (5 mi) west of the town of Okotoks, Alberta, Canada.

Exploring #Alberta- Okotoks 'Big Rock' | theWanderers-notebook
What's up fellow Wanderers! I'm back with a new video featuring the Okotoks 'Big Rock' near the town of Okotoks in southern Alberta.
Big Rock (also known as either Okotoks Erratic or, by the Blackfoot, as Okotok) is a 16,500-tonne (18,200-ton) boulder that lies on the otherwise flat, relatively featureless, the surface of the Canadian Prairies in Alberta. It is part of the 930-kilometer-long (580 mi) Foothills Erratics Train of typically angular boulders of distinctive quartzite and pebbly quartzite.
Big Rock is a glacial erratic that is part of a 930 km (580 mi) long, narrow (1.00 to 22.05 km (0.62 to 13.7 mi) wide), linear scatter of thousands of distinctive quartzite and pebbly quartzite glacial erratics between 30 cm (1 ft) and 41 m (135 ft) in length. This linear scatter of distinctive quartzite glacial erratics is known as the Foothills Erratics Train. The Foothills Erratics Train extends along the eastern flanks of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and northern Montana to the International Border.
