*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

Lineham Falls and Cliffs September 1 and 6, 2021 Waterton Lakes National Park

I don't often do the same trail twice in a week, but this was an exception, my wife and I went on September 1st and then a bunch of my family wanted to do the same hike on Labour Day, so I came along.  Both were nice days and this was actually the first time I had actually been to the falls ever.  I'd seen them many times from above but never got to the actual falls ever.  The first hike I did a little solo detour to check out the cliff just to check it out since I hadn't been over the cliff since a young adult and thought I'd take a look.  Nothing to exciting to report, easy trail.  I'll only show one track and that is of the cliff day.

This is as far as I went, notice the chain in the middle of picture, not sure how secure that is

Great view from the falls

I think the Park needs to remove this sign, little outdated, the trail is now well worn to the falls

2nd hike with family
