Bourgeau has named the lakes Lacs des Arcs, and the peak opposite Pigeon Mount, the one behind our camp, Grotto Mountain, and a high peak to the west, on which the clouds were gathering and curling about Windy Mountain.






Eugene Bourgeau gave Grotto Mountain its name after noting the high-arched cave on its slope.


Can you pinpoint this closer view of "the Grotto."

How do I participate in the student Sketchbook Project?
