2 Ways to Protect Alpine Environments When Backpacking

Описание: While traveling in the alpine climate it can be hard to avoid the abundant plants and flowers that seem to cover every inch of the ground. The alpine biome usually lies between an altitude of about 10,000 feet (3,000 meters), and the place where the snow line of a mountain begins.

Animals and insects like mountain goats, sheep, elk, marmots, beetles, grasshoppers, and butterflies depend on the plants that grow in the unique alpine environment like tussock grasses, dwarf trees, small-leafed shrubs, and heaths. Because of the limited durable surfaces in these areas, its important to take extra care around camp.
