*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

Canoeing/Rafting down the St. Mary's River Scout Camp July 3-5, 2013

For the first few days of our summer Scout camp in 2013 we did more water sports.  So we white water rafted one day and canoed the next day.  We covered the St. Mary's river from the U.S./Canada border all the way to the bridge crossing east of Cardston.  They were a few really nice hot days and they were great for getting wet.  The area we camped in was superb and the boys had a blast.  The last day of the camp we did Crypt Lake and it is mentioned in another post.

Just beside a Hutterite Colony they had a little diving board set up

We saw a whole bunch of Bald Eagles along the river
