*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

Drywood Falls May 5, 2022 South Castle Provincial Park, Alberta

 So birthday hike with my wife.  I had never been to this falls before so I figured why not eh.  This is a nice easy stroll, mostly on gravel path which leads to a nice little waterfall.  Well worth if for a nice afternoon stroll

Start of Hike looking up the valley we would stroll up

The streams were full today

Some ice that definitely doesn't look safe to climb

I climbed over to the falls and took this picture from the falls

First flowers of the season

New favorite place to go eat after a hike, just north of Waterton, very good
