Looking into Windy Pass Valley along the Dempster Highway. This valley hasbeen unglaciated for the last 100,000 years and pollen analysis indicates thatthe indigenous composition of plants has remained constant during this period.Hence, this flora is what early human emigrants encountered whenmigrating to North America.
