Here are a few shots from a hike into the start of the very popular Skoki Loop route, in Banff National Park... we went across Boulder Pass, the first point of interest, and wandered around Ptarmigan Lake, and called it a day.
Rather than belabour a lot of plant species I've shown in other threads, I'll just show some of the different and interesting ones here.
1) Leaving the forest and looking west from meadow, at Mount Temple and the Seven Sisters, in the distance
2, 3) Platanthera dilatata, in wet meadow
4, 5) Scenery, and approaching Boulder Pass, on the flank of Redoubt Mt.
6) Lots of butterflies... pardon the subject matter, but they are frequently interested in horse dung, as shown here.
7, 8 ) I've only seen this plant in one other place - Pedicularis contorta - lots of them around Boulder Pass
9) Boulder Pass
