Among the several species may be noted the following:
Black pine (Pinus Murrayana) so called from the dark hue of its foliage when seen in dense bodies.
Red fir (Pseudotsuga Douglasii) the largest variety in the Park, sometimes attaining a diameter of five feet.
Balsam (Abies subalpina). It flourishes near the snow fields and is the beauty of the forest.
Spruce (Pinus Engelmanni). Like the preceding it flourishes at high altitudes. It is tall and slender, and is good for lumber.
Red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is found to a limited extent.
Poplar or aspen (Populus tremuloides) flourishes among the sheltered foot-hills.
Dwarf maple is occasionally found.
Willow thickets abound in great abundance.
