Mount Engelhard is a 3,270-metre summit in Jasper National Park in Alberta's Canadian Rockies, standing between the Athabasca and Sunwapta river valleys near Mount Cromwell and Stutfield Peak. First climbed in 1930 by W. Hainsworth, J.F. Lehmann, M.M. Strumia, and N.D. Waffl, it was named in 1966 for American mountaineer Georgia Engelhard, who spent 15 years climbing in the Canadian Rockies. The mountain lies in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers, where temperatures can drop below −20 °C and wind chills below −30 °C. Its runoff drains into tributaries of the Athabasca River.
