*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

Lake Louise Cross Country Skiing Winter 2000

I was coming back to school with my room mate Brian and we took a side trip with his brother Gerry as he was in school in Calgary.  We headed up to Lake Louise and did a little cross country skiing.  It was a great day and we had a blast.  My two favorite memories from this day were skiing across the lake and hearing it creak below our skis, probably not as thick as the ice should have been.   The other was coming down one section on the west end of the lake and waxing out big time.  I ripped my ski boot that day because we wiped out so bad, and it wasn't just me it was all three of us.  


Getting ready to head across the lake, we skied up the west side of the lake on a trail for a while

This is about as far as we got going west

Heading back with the Chateau Lake Louise in the center
