One goal for every summer holiday is going to the lappland. This time it located to "paistunturit, utsjoki." It also was first time to my partner and our dog to be there.

Good 900km and 13h drive to destination.

First hiking day was a little shorter, no exact plan where to camp. After getting above tree line there was a storm coming so we decided to set up our tent and make lunch while weather gets better.

After the storm we hiked few km and found a nice spot to camp. Fresh water streaming close to our spot. There is me filling bottles and Ruska, our dog. :) water is perfectly clear and safe to drink straight from the stream.

Day two. At night temps were around zero, so warm clothing was essential. Carinthia tropen sleeping bag provided good sleeps still. As breakfast was eaten we continued our hike. Destination was about 13km away.

It's a long way to the top.

Sometimes you just feel yourself small.

Found our lunch spot. Those cabins are free to use for everyone. You can spend your night there and continue your teip. And if someone else comes, you just have to make room. I'm not a big fan of using those, because I wan't more private spot to camp. There usually is a wood stove for heating and gas stove for cooking. Good place to recess still.
