*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

Mount Boswell September 4, 2021 Waterton Lakes National Park

 So last minute hike when a friend called and wanted to do this one.  He messaged me Friday afternoon and we were hiking Saturday, all good, I love last minute adventures.  Last time I did this we basically did the same route, this time instead of canoeing from emerald bay we came from the Linnet Lake docks, which sheltered us from the wind, last time the wind was so bad during the day we almost lost our canoe in the wind on the shore of the Bosporous, this time we secured it just encase.  The  creek crossing we did last time was also different this time, today the water was so low we didn't even have to take off our boots. Also got to witness someone finish off all the peaks in Waterton, all in all a gorgeous day on a grunt of a mountain.

Beautiful Sunrise drive to Waterton
