Geography and climate

The townsite is located on a series of southern-facing gravel terraces on a ridge of Mount Bergeron, overlooking the confluence of the Murray and Wolverine Rivers.[27] The site, above the floodplain of the Murray River, has well-drained soils with easy access to aquifers with potable water.[28] The rocks, mostly shale and mudstone but lacking quartzite, make the mountains less rugged than their neighbouring ranges.[29] The terraces grow Lodgepole Pine, White Spruce, Trembling Aspen trees. Moose and elk are common.[30][31] Escarpments to the east and north could pose a snow avalanche threat but are kept forested for stability.[32] In 2006, the town was evacuated for several days as four forest fires approached the town.[33
