Crossing the Siffleur River.Finally near the bottom of the slopes from col looking across the Siffleur River Valley. Willingdon, Crown and Tower on the far right.The manky terrain that is the Quartzite Col.The lovely Siffleur River Valley must be crossed to access Devon Lakes.Branching off the main trail towards Quartzite Col.Crossing another tributary of the Siffleur River.Did I mention STEEP and LOOSE?!Hiking to Quartzite Col.Indian Paintbrush.Looking back up to the col from near the bottom of the slope - should be fun on the way back too!The snow was too hard to use easily so we took the nasty rock instead.Indian Paintbrush.Devon Mountain looms large over Devon Lakes.Looking across the largest Devon Lake at Devon Mountain from nearby the 'normal' bivy location.Starting out along a wet Mosquito Creek trail.Following the trail to Devon Lakes (R) and Mount Willingdon (L).Hiking back around the NW side of Devon on our way to the bivy near Devon Lakes. Mosquito, Ramp and Quartzite in the distance.Wet vegetation along the small branch.Looking ahead to the col (R) and the upper valley (L) - you should be on climber's right of the major drainage you see just ahead of me here.
