*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

Old Baldy Chetwynd B.C. March 26, 2016

We had driven up to Chetwynd in northern B.C. to visit my sister and her family for the Easter weekend.  It was a long drive, kind of reminded me of driving up to Yellowknife, just trees the entire way.  The one day we were there my sister said there was a nice lookout hike that we could do with some of the kids if we wanted.  Nothing too hard or difficult, but still worth the view.  So a few of us headed up and took our little hike of Mt. Baldy in Chetwynd.  It was a little windy but a good little hike and view.
