I Took The Path Less Traveled By: Crypt Lake Scout Camp Hike July 6, 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

Crypt Lake Scout Camp Hike July 6, 2013

This was the final day of our Scout camp and it was a gorgeous day to start. I've never canoed on Upper Waterton Lake when it was so calm. The hike was also great, yet near the end as we were getting back to the canoes the wind picked up and you could see a storm approaching from the west. We quickly tried to head back and had quite a time canoeing against the wind and making it safely back to shore. After a few hours of waiting for everyone to get in we loaded up the canoes and headed for home. I think we got home just after midnight.
