As you can see - lots of ups and downs.Hiking back along the Highwood River - Mann at left and Gunnery at right.A steep grunt up the north end of the ridge.From L to R are Bolton, Armstrong, MacLaren, Strachan, Muir, McPhail, Horned Mountain, Bishop, Loomis and Odlum.Dave grunts up to Miller Creek Ridge with North Limestone Ridge at left and Holy Cross at distant center.Holy Cross Mountain.Gearing up for our hike after crossing a frosty Highwood River.We did some post-holing but snowshoes wouldn't have helped any in the sugary snow.Working our way east down the river towards the end of North Limestone Ridge.The Limestone ridges made the hiking rather pleasant.Gorgeous views off the ridge with North Limestone at lower right.You'd think we were close at this point. Not as close as it looks!Getting off the end of Miller Creek Ridge and looking ahead at our escape valley.Nearing the summit of Zephyr Creek Hill.Looking north (L) past the summit cairn towards Holy Cross and Bull Creek Hills and east (C) over the prairies towards Calgary.A surprising lack of snow as we make our way through light forest towards the north end of North Limestone Ridge, visible at right.
