I Took The Path Less Traveled By: Carbondale Hill Fire Lookout August 18, 2020 Castle Provincial Park

*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

Carbondale Hill Fire Lookout August 18, 2020 Castle Provincial Park

We had been camping at Castle Falls Campground for a few days and decided to do a sunset hike and Carbondale hill wasn't far away and wasn't that difficult. So we headed up and got a beautiful sunset from the top. This fire lookout is still active and we said hi to the lady who was up there. I got a great view of the mountains to the west especially Darrah. I will say I think I prefer the sky on the sunrise over the sunset.
