Trees and Plants Details
Hundreds of species of plants live and thrive in the park and the preserve, partially due to the fact that there are so many environments that exist within the park, from high alpine tundra to warm wetlands. Expect to see sagebrush in the low grasslands and pine forests in the alpine areas. Wildflowers bloom above 8000 feet in late July and August - if you're visiting the park in the higher elevations, you may be lucky enough to see them at their peak bloom.
