Besseggen in Norway
[besseggen.net]
First of the 5 big hikes of the summer.
Before the hike we camped close to the shuttle bus that goes from the parking lot to the harbor.
Start taking a boat to the other side of the lake and then hiking back to the harbor over the mountains.
What a beautiful hike! My friend May posted a picture of her hike this morning - I do believe yours wins the Norway beauty award.
This was the best weather of the hikes this weeks.
And the place is amazing.

It is far away but the good part of Norway that in 2 weeks you can do 5 or 6 big hikes, all amazing.
This summer I made Besseggen, Galdhøpiggen, Gaustatoppen, Kjerag and Trolltunga (this one camping over the mountains).
We did all of them in 12 days (could be shorter but we spend some relaxing days).

Posted by CallMeDaveI've never been a big wildflower person, but this is the season for it here in Appalachia. Other people can identify every variety. I'm not there yet.
