Let's all do our part.
Please do not have campfires and build fire pits in any alpine environment.
I have included a short educational article below on the negative impacts of fires in the Alpine from the ACC Vancouver Island.
Do your part, and share this information and educational material.

A group of campers with a fire in the alpine at Mt Outram. To get there, they had to pass several signs saying "No Fires". Their excuse was that it was cold. If you aren't prepared for the conditions you should reasonably expect, don't go.
MFLNRO signage in the area:
"Use Stoves Only. No Fires in the Sub-Alpine Area. Help Preserve this Fragile Environment for the Future. Thank you".
