We went and visited my brother and his family in Oregon as a family in the Summer of 2011 and I was able to go on two hikes, this was the first hike that we did as a family. It is quite a pretty little area and the waterfalls here are just incredible. It is quite neat to walk behind and under a waterfall and get that different perspective. Again the real views are much better than the pictures. I won't caption these photos because they are pretty self explanatory as they are just different pictures of the many waterfalls in the Silver Falls State Park in Oregon
My name is Darren and I enjoy hiking in my spare time and this is a place where I will share some of my experiences hiking. I'm no professional but I do enjoy nature and taking pictures. Hope you enjoy reading some of my paths traveled! Follow me on Instagram my handle is darrenellingson 1 Nephi 17:7 "the voice of the Lord came unto me, saying: Arise, and get thee into the mountain. And it came to pass that I arose and went up into the mountain"
*I hope people use their own wise judgement when hiking always plan ahead and be prepared. One should never go beyond their abilities.*
Over the years I've had a few goals my first was to Summit all the Peaks of Waterton. Here is My Waterton Summit List I completed that goal on September 26, 2016.
My next goal I'm still working on and that is to summit the 6 10,000 foot Summmits of Glacier National Park. I have one left Kintla.
My 2018 Goal that I accomplished was to summit 40 peaks in my 40th year and that I finished on September 26, 2018.
Not sure what will be my next goal, once Glacier's Summits are done?
I commonly use 3 Hashtags on my social media. The first one is #itookthepathlesstraveledby which is to reference this blog. The next two relate to my father and grandfather who were also hikers. #milesformarkellingson is to remember my
Dad, Mark Ellingson and #dustfromthetrailandhowitsettledonme is to remember my Grandfather Earl Ellingson
