Harper Pass Biv
Lake Sumner Conservation Park
Harpers Pass Biv (2 bed, matresses, stream water, no fire) is a small bivvy 1.5km below the Harper Pass. Weather-tight and a handy lunch spot on a rainy, windy day. Reportedly cold on a winters night though! Only one bivouac remains (maps show multiple).
