Looks very similiar to the service berry we have here.

Looking at it some more, I'm leaning towards maple at least compared to our serviceberry.

Thanks dilligence I don't know about that douglas maple the bark does look similar but the way it shows the tree growing is different this was just a single trunk straight up about seven eight feet then branching out. I know it wasn't vine maple I lived in western washington for ten years so I know what that looks like. I've been browsing through the field guides and tree sites for trees in northwestern Montana that resemble it and haven't been able to find anything. If I was still in Montana I would drive up there and take some pictures right away, this is starting to bug me I want to know what it is.  :)

Maybe. :-\ I don't know I am probably going to have to wait until the leaves start to grow again then go and look again. I'll get some pictures of it and the leaves then I should be able to figure out what it is no problem.
