Castleguard River (lower left) and Watchman Peak (upper left) are seen as the trail heads upstream along the Castleguard River. The white dome in the far distance (center) is Castleguard Mountain, 10,115 ft., on the edge of the Columbia Icefield.

Looking down on Castleguard River, and across to Watchman Peak and its southeast shoulder, from high on the trail to Castleguard Meadows.

Impressive cliffs of Watchman Peak's southeast shoulder are seen through the trees along the Castleguard River.
