Dale, Caroline, Elizabeth and I set off up Zephyr Creek to see the pictographs on Painted Creek. After viewing the 300-year-old paintings, we ascended the southwest slope to reach the summit of South Limestone Ridge. After taking a break on top, we descended the west slope to get back to Zephyr Creek.
