Mushroom Peak at upper right and the start of the hiking trail near the obvious scar at right where Woolley Creek comes down.

Crossing the Sunwapta River was easy in late summer.

Immediately after crossing the Sunwapta River you go up an obvious trail on climber's left of Woolley Creek.

A very impressive waterfall at the beginning of the trail.

A very impressive waterfall at the beginning of the trail.

Once above the waterfall the trail varies between forest and stream bed (sometimes both) but should still be pretty obvious.

Being in this wild place alone was a wonderful experience.

Wild beauty all around. It doesn't get better than this in the Rockies.

Mount Engelhard is an impressive peak at 10,729 feet high.

Looking back down Woolley Creek towards Tangle Ridge.

The easiest place to lose the trail (right Ben and Steven?! :)) is near the big boulder field where the trail starts off well to climber's left of the stream

Looking back down at the ascent valley - Tangle Ridge in the distance across hwy #93.

Cairns mark the way.

Getting closer to treeline. I had a few flurries and a brief snow squall on approach.

Finally three of our objectives come into view. Woolley, Diadem and Mushroom Peak from L to R.

Looking back down the approach from above treeline. Peaks in the distance include Cromwell and Engelhard.
