One of the best areas to observe bird life is in the vicinity of the abandoned Ray Farm. Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden or lake trout inhabit most of the lakes, rivers and streams. Forest cover of Douglas fir, western red cedar and hemlock is quite dense at the lower levels, giving way, at an elevation of about 1,200 meters, to alpine fir and spruce. Above the timberline are alpine meadows and eventually, broken precipitous mountains and extensive glaciers. Cottonwood, willow, birch and trembling aspen dominate the bottomland and stream and river banks.
