Tree species include hemlock, spruce, white cedar, pine, Douglas-fir, and larch or tamarack. The main forest forming species are pine, birch, spruce, fir, aspen and larch. The forests of the taiga are largely coniferous, dominated by larch, spruce, fir and pine. Other timber used were ash, elm, pine, spruce and larch. Forests are large and mostly composed of fir, beech, and larch. The taiga forest is densely populated with spruces, firs, pines and larch. These larch and fir-spruce forests form the watershed of the Selemdzha River. Patches of black spruce and larch stand in marshy valleys. Roads in the area are named after trees (Pine, Larch, Cedar, Ivy, Olive). European larch, Japanese larch, and Tamarack larch are the species most commonly trained as bonsai. Pine mushroom (Tricholoma magnivelare) and Red Waxy Cap/Larch Waxy Cap (Hygrophorus speciosus). By the Holocene (10,000 YBP), patches of closed larch and pine forests developed. The circuit includes alpine meadows, balcony trails, larch forests and glacial crossings. Evergreens in this area include larch and juniper. The trail climbs Paddock Hill before descending into a plantation of larch trees.
