Photo About half way to Wiwaxy gap. Lake O'hara, Yoho National Park, Canada by Jim Griffin

We've gone through many switchbacks on the way to this point of the first leg of the hike at Lake O'hara. We're probably climbed about 250m on our journey to Wiwaxy gap. This part of the trail hasn't been to steep, but that's about to change as we get even more above treeline. Still a great day for hiking with temps around 70F and beautiful blue sky. Yukeness Ledge sits at about 9 oclock in this photo and Obapin plateau at about 11 oclock. Both these are pointed out in the variant along with a line showing the trail on the other side of the lake which is part of the alpine circuit.

The variant shows some of the route taken on the hike. The Y points out Yukeness ledge and the O points out the Obapin plateau. The line illustrates the path around yukeness ledge as well as the trail taken below the peaks of Odaray Mountain to reach All Soul's prospect. The line representing the trail coming down from All Soul's prospect does not go down the ridge line but behind the ridge line. my variant of the photo

Thanks Ricardo. This is one of the most amazingly beautiful places I've ever been. The photos don't do it justice.
