Flora and fauna in Cathedral Provincial Park
The park is home to a number of grazing animals like mule deer, mountain goats, bighorn sheep and marmots. Bears, while in the park, are rare.
The growing season is short but there is a mixture of flowers and trees. Douglas Fir is the dominant tree at lower elevations, mixed with aspens and cottonwoods. As the ground gets higher, Lodgepole pines and Engelmann spruce trees become more plentiful. These trees eventually give way to sub-alpine species. The highest parts of the park do not have tree cover. Forests in the park are less dense than forests found in coastal British Columbia and have much less undergrowth.
Flowers tend to be found in open areas and alpine meadows. The main blooming period is July-August.
