*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

Prairie Bluff October 10, 2020 South Castle Alberta

 Today the weather was forecasted to be rainy, but not in the morning so we decided to do a quick sunrise summit to Prairie Bluff.  We decided just to take the service road all the way to the top and it wasn't that bad.  The wind was pretty strong most of the way up but the sunrise was amazing.  We took a little different way down and all and all it was a great day.

Sour gas well

Starting to get light

Horizon getting brighter above the shell plant

Summit in view

Love the silhouette pictures

Smokey skies in the distance hid the sun for a while but not the colors in the sky

Wide angle picture

Can finally see the sun through the smoke

Victoria, Windsor and Castle looked amazing...to bad the sun went behind the clouds otherwise we could have seen them illuminated with the morning sun

Larch season is over, all the needles are on the ground

Some of the trees still had leaves on them
