Wrangell-St. Elias National Park


Plants of the Park


One of the coolest things along the trail were all of the wildflowers blooming. As a result of borrowing a friend's cool camera, a good portion of my time was spent crawling around on the ground trying to focus on tiny little plants. Sonja didn't think it was much fun, though, as she had to stop and wait for me to take a picture every five minutes. I'm too lazy to key out any of these species, so you'll have to live with the names I gave them...
