Wildflowers
Summer in the high alpine can be a breathtaking sight when hill after hill is smothered in wildflowers like Indian Paintbrush and lupin, others are rare, and some never seen anywhere except the alpine where conditions are just right for them. Often you will come across many strange mosses and lichens as well that the caribou depend upon so much for food. Back to Sightseeing
