I Took The Path Less Traveled By: Wall Lake Family Hike August 18, 2011

*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

Wall Lake Family Hike August 18, 2011

This was another little family hike we did with some friends. The Wall Lake trail is quite simple except for the first about 20 minutes where you gain a fair bit of elevation. After that it is pretty flat with minimal ups and downs. Once you reach Wall Lake you see why they call it Wall Lake from its enormous "wall" cliff on the far side of the lake. The kids were really good today on this hike and we all had a very enjoyable time. Again since the trail is all marked and on any map I won't include a track or a map of the hike.
