I believe these are the Jewel Lichen or Elegant Orange Lichen, Xanthoria elegans. The photo was taken by my wife on the Snowbird Pass trail above Berg Lake in Mount Robson Park on one of our backpacking trips there.

Robson Glacier flows down from the north face of Mount Robson. We did a day hike of about 25 kilometers from our camp at Berg Lake to Snowbird Pass which brought us along the ridge north of this glacier and up on to the tundra.

Much larger than they appeared from a distance, I am dwarfed by the size of this cave. The picture was taken by my wife and fellow hiker.

This route heads nearly due east from Robson Glacier over the tundra to Snowbird Pass from which one can look out over the vast icefields that lie to the east of the Pass..

I believe this to be correctly identified as a sedge, but which one I do not know. Perhaps someone who sees the picture can tell me, but I understand that the sedges are exceedingly difficult to distinguish. This was photographed on the tundra along the trail to Snowbird Pass in Mount Robson Provincial Park, but was also seen at lower elevations (alpine and sub-alpine).

I am unsure of the species on this Ranunculus - the species listed is the closest match I could find. This was photographed on the tundra at about 6000 feet, growing in the wetter areas.
