What is your nationality? What type of visa were you on in the U.S.? And is there any relation of your question to the Candian Rockies?

@mts the asker has an enhanced driver's license and we can deduce that he or she is not a US citizen, so the only other option is Canadian.

Pick any crossing. The US has no exit immigration control, so you will only go through Canadian entry Immigration control
Are you a Canadian permanent resident? If so just use your permanent resident Card.
If not, foreign passport are stamped. Just get a new one if this is an issue.

I don't think that's the question. As I read it, OP's concern is that Canadian immigration will stamp their passport, and that on their next attempt to enter the US, US immigration will deduce from the dates that OP had overstayed.

@MichaelHampton: Good question. The US stamps US citizens' passports on entry, in at least some circumstances.

@NateEldredge I don't think the US usually stamps US passports at the Canadian land border. I'll check mine later.

The US may stamp US passports depending on the officer. Especially at land borders, and at Airports when using APC kiosks, they increasingly don't, and even if you see them trying you can easily ask them not to
