Also called low bush cranberry because it tastes a bit like a cranberry. They have small, cupped glossy leaves. These berries ripen a little later than the others around (alpine blueberry, alpine bearberries, salmonberries, and crowberries).

Habitat:

On the top of Pillar Mountain, a small mountain
