  I did this exact same hike in 1973.  From Isabella lake to Helen lake, there was no trail.  We followed the creek and our primitive map.  I saw my first caribou on this trip.  There were 3 of us on this hike and we had a two-man tent!  That was crowded.  We never saw another person the entire trip.

  JJ, there isn&apos;t many people that can share a self-committed bear spray story (or two) but I certainly can. Had a full body/full spray/freak accident about 13 ish years ago. What a true nightmare. <br><br>That said, hike looks like it was probably incredible and I&apos;m confident I&apos;ll do this hike at some point. Smoke always sucks on trail. Especially in an area where views allow for vistas as far as the eye can see. Cheers.

  Almost hit the permit button on this one as Mosquito Creek was available for a loop I&apos;ve been wanting to do since watching Neil Sweets video of this loop &amp; Devon Lakes. However, managed to wrangle some Rockwall permits for September 24th onward so as to be one with the larches. Couldn&apos;t believe they were available still yesterday. So, this loop with Devon Lakes will have to be next years Rockies adventure. Maybe see you there &nbsp;if you go again.

  Good sir! My apologies for the bother! I&apos;m getting a bit of conflicting information regarding the facilities available at the Siffleur River - Sf site. I&apos;m doing an &quot;up-and-back&quot; to Siffleur River - Sf next week and am wishing to confirm that there are bear poles (or similar storage options) at the site. I don&apos;t own an Ursack, having delayed this purchase until I win the lottery, or bingo this Saturday night. Many thanx! D

  Great video, and to answer your tree question the answer is squirrels &nbsp;, they like to sit on high rocks and eat cones, the seeds often fall into the cracks and if conditions are right hey presto new tree, , as for the leave no trace people they have clearly never been off trail in the mountains completely turned around and then spot a cairn and a huge sigh of relief. I understand minimal impact etc but leave the cairns alone they can literally be life savers. , ok we dont need them every ten feet but at key or dangerous junctions and routes it can make the difference of a safe enjoyable hike or the beginning of a nightmare, having done search and rescue in a former life i can tell you they are often life savers,
