Polytrichum is a genus of mosses — commonly called haircap moss or hair moss — which contains approximately 70 species that cover a cosmopolitan distribution. I placed this when hiking from Buntzen Lake, may be alternate ways to get here. This is part of the Halvor Lunden Trail. Also (incorrectly) known as the Lindsay Lake Loop. You can stop here take and gander at the lookout, or continue onwards if you wish. :)

Lindsay Lake Loop Hiking time: 6–8 hours return. Distance: 15 km. Elevation gain: 1020 m. This route is recommended for experienced and fit hikers only. The trail to Lindsay Lake is the most popular of the three loops along this trail. Climb to El Paso Junction, then turn left and cross Buntzen Creek. Passing through the ancient mountain forest you will encounter several spectacular viewpoints overlooking Vancouver. At Lindsay Lake Junction (at the north end of Lindsay Lake) turn right and head south through the "lakes district" back to El Paso Junction. Return to the main parking area along the same trail you started on.
