We hike into the alpine every summer and we enjoy coming across white mountain-heather in bloom.   On our last hike into the East Trophy Range, we passed by some in bloom above the treeline.

Some of these slow-growing shrubs live 20 years or more, much of it under the snow.

The small, graceful white bells grace the rocky upper slopes each summer to our delight.
