I Took The Path Less Traveled By: Heaven's Gate Idaho July 11, 2014

*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

Heaven's Gate Idaho July 11, 2014

This wasn't really much of a hike but the views were spectacular. We had just finished white water rafting for the day down the Salmon river near Riggins Idaho. We saw that there was a road to this lookout so drove up to it and there was only about a half km hike to the forest fire look out tour. It was really neat to see the vistas from there and the drive up was much easier than most hikes I take to get similar views.
