I Took The Path Less Traveled By: January 2022

*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

Cameron Lake Night Ski Jan 15, 2022 Waterton Lakes National Park Alberta

So it wasn't quite a full moon yet but this was attempt number 3 to see Cameron Lake during a full moon (it was only 1.5 days away...so close enough). But we headed out after I worked and had a glorious view of the Lake and Mt. Custer. The weather has been warmer of late so the skiing was terrible but the views were great. I'll let the pictures explain the rest.
