Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) or Arctic Raspberry (Rubus arcticus)

To be honest, it took me a while to distinguish between the various types of wild Rubus in Alberta. I'm pretty certain that this is Salmonberry, from the look of the foliage and where it was growing (next to a creek, under big pine trees). But I may be wrong! Without knowing what the flower looked like, it can be the Arctic Raspberry, considering the freezing cold of the mountains where this thing grow!
