Mountain Alder / Aulne crispé Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

JNP/PNJ: While the cache has been repaired, I've been unable to find another Mountain Alder close to GZ that meets Parks Canada's geocaching guidelines. Since I'll be away from the park for the next four months I think it's best to Archive this listing for the time being.

Geocache Description:

The cache can be reached from the trail. / Le cache peut être atteint à partir de la piste.

If you find Mountain Alder (Alnus incana) in the Athabasca Valley chances are you are close to water. At higher elevations you’ll find alder in avalanche paths. Around you are a great variety of plants including lilies, orchids, violets and ginseng. Remember; take only photographs, leave only footprints.

Si vous voyez des aulnes (Alnus incana) dans la vallée de l’Athabasca, il y a fort à parier que vous êtes près d’un plan d’eau. À haute altitude, les aulnes poussent dans les couloirs d’avalanche. Vous trouverez autour de vous tout un éventail d’espèces végétales, dont des lis, des orchidées, des violettes et du ginseng. N’oubliez pas : ne prenez que des photos et ne laissez que la trace de vos pas.
