9,146 ha. Numerous lakes and tarns are tucked against rugged granite cliffs and surrounded by tundra and lingering snowfields. Seven creeks drain the lakes, resulting in numerous waterfalls and cataracts, some as much as 150 m in height. Experienced hikers, willing to expend considerable effort in bushwhacking and route finding should visit this protected area where few if any people will be encountered. Backcountry camping is allowed in the park. When toilets are not available, bury human waste at least 15 cm in soil and 30 m from water. To ensure drinking water is safe, it must be boiled for at least 5 minutes. Practice "no trace" camping ethics.
