I Took The Path Less Traveled By: Avalanche Lake Family Hike August 4, 2013

*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

Avalanche Lake Family Hike August 4, 2013

This was another family hike to a beautiful lake in Glacier National. It isn't a very long hike but it is pretty to be in the lush forest. The kids had a blast. The hike is about 4.4 km each way and only has an elevation gain of about 505 feet. Once you reach the Lake you see entire opposite side of the lake is covered in waterfalls feeding into the lake. Above the lake is Sperry Glacier which feeds most of these water falls.
