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 Bougeau originally named the mountain "Pic des Pigeons" after seeing a flock of wild pigeons that appeared to be nesting in the vicinity.
