*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

Table Mountain Scout Camp August 7, 2008

This was my very first overnight scout camp as a leader.  I figured we could go and camp in Castle River Falls campground and then get up the next morning and hike Table Mountain.  It was a wise choice as the boys had a blast and it was a good time.  The hike is fairly demanding as it is pretty steep at parts but the length of the hike is not to long.

On our way through the steep part

Resting overlooking a beautiful vista

I suppose we "really" didn't summit Table mountain as that is the actual true summit over there

The layers of rock are impressive

Better view of the cliff

What the cliff looks like while looking down

Looks like a storm was going to come in so we headed down, but there was no rain

This is the approximate path we took
