Hiking in Lapland

Tales from trails about sights and campsites

Quiet in Kuusamo

May 14th, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo

View from Valtavaara

During last two week’s in Mrs Nesbitt’s ABC Wednesday, we’ve been hiking along Oulankajoki to Porontimajoki and now with letter ‘Q’ we found ourselves in quiet place in top of Valtavaara. It is 4km from here to Ruka ski resort, so in a sense this is beginning or the end of trail for hikers.
During summer months it is so quiet and peaceful in there, that I would love to sit down and watch the clouds go by (until I would get tired of it, dig macro lens out of my pack and start shooting plants :) . Only noise that you might be able to hear in here comes from singing birds and other hikers, who might pass by.

    Your forests, lakes and rocky outcrops look very similar to our in British Columbia. Come see some of my pictures of Powell River, BC. We live in a floating cabin on one of the larger lakes and just love it. I chose nearby Quadra Island for my Q post. You can see that while you are there. – Margy
