I Took The Path Less Traveled By: Summit Hike Spring 2001

*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

Summit Hike Spring 2001

A bunch of us had just finished our University semesters and we were down in Southern Alberta for the summer and decided to go hike the Carthew/Alderson Summit hike. This was the first hike I did with my wife who was my fiance at the time. It was a great day, and very beautiful. We had a lot of snow on the mountains all around us and even on the trail. Great time and great company.
