Park Size: 153 hectares

This park protects a small cirque basin with avalanche tracks, rich wetlands, true bogs, fens, high floristic diversity and rare lichens. Old-growth Englemann spruce, subalpine fir, rare lichen species and many species of wildflowers exist in the area. Situated at the base of the steep, north-facing slope of Raft Mountain, the combination of aspect, deep snows, and cold air drainage creates unique conditions and favours plant communities that normally occur 500 meters higher.
