Greetings,
Your plant could be absinthe wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) of the Asteraceae family. This is an exotic perennial species that inhabits roadsides, fields, talus slopes, and streambanks at lower elevation sites in Montana. Try a google images search for this species and see what you think!
