Cataract is a distant giant in the haze as we gain height back above Fish Lakes.

Nature does its best to cheer me up as we re-ascend through acres of wildflowers towards Fish Lakes.

A porcupine looks at us suspiciously as we pass him by.

The summit is almost in sight.

Too bad about the haze, but from L to R, Little Cataract, "Big" Cataract, McConnell and Mount Drummond. Lower Fish Lakes visible too with Minnow Peak at far right.

Willingdon, Crown and South Tower with Harris at center right.

Fast hiking on a good trail along Mosquito Creek.

A tele-pano of the Siffleur Wilderness Area includes Devon at left, the Willingdon Group and Huestis and Malloch at right.

Cataract Peak is a huge mountain. Hard to believe we were up there only hours ago.

Phil hikes beneath the east face of Noseem Mountain.

Moonscapes just under NMP with Molarstone rising to the right.

Looking back up NMP.

A doe gives us a cautionary glance as she feeds in the early morning stillness along a bubbling stream.

Stunning morning views down the Mosquito Creek Valley towards Noseeum, OXO and Mosquito Mountain.

Looking back from the bottom of North Molar Pass.
