DAY 7 (THANK YOU): Thanks to everyone who followed my Swedish Lapland series. Thanks for all your comments and support. I hope I didn’t spam you all too much these last couple of weeks 🤣. These last photos are taken from my hotel room at Kiruna looking out over the world’s largest iron ore mine. ・・・ Riksgränsen to Abisko via Vistas 118 km - September 2019 ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #kungsleden #sunset ・・・ Camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
DAY 7 (LAST DAY) 😞: It was raining when I woke up. The skies cleared slightly while I packed my gear and then when I walked to the kitchen lean-to the rain started again. The shelter was filled up with hikers but there is always room for one more. At least that is what I said to them and they made room for me 😀. When I started out for the day the skies opened up again and the rain only got heavier throughout the day. I had less than 5 km to Abisko and had to catch a bus at 11:10 am. ・・・ Riksgränsen to Abisko via Vistas 118 km - September 2019 ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #kungsleden ・・・ Camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
DAY 6 PART D: Camp at Nissonjokk alongside river Abiskojåkka. It was a nice location with toilets, although quite disgusting, and a little lean-to shelter for a kitchen area containing a little fire stove. There was also a firewood shed although it was empty. There were a lot of garbage bins and they had recently been emptied which was nice. They will be renovating the toilets in the winter between 2019-2020. Nissonjokk is the last “legal” camp site before Abisko. ・・・ Riksgränsen to Abisko via Vistas 118 km - September 2019 ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #kungsleden #tarptent #tarptents #tarptentnotch @tarptent Sleep Anywhere ・・・ Camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
DAY 6 PART C: Camp Allesjokk to Camp Nissonjokk. The trail runs parallel to the river Abiskojåkka. Temperature: 20℃ Swedish Lapland September 11, 2019. My last camp on trail tonight for this trip 😞 ・・・ Riksgränsen to Abisko via Vistas 118 km - September 2019 ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #kungsleden ・・・ Camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
DAY 6 PART B: Just before Abiskojaure and after crossing the suspension bridge over Siellajohka there is a perfect location to rest and fill your water bottle. There are also some toilets just up the rise on the other side, although they are quite disgusting. There was a sign asking people to take their garbage with them but they just piled it up on the inside of the toilet. I just don't understand these folks that don't pack their own garbage out. ・・・ Riksgränsen to Abisko via Vistas 118 km - September 2019 ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #kungsleden #leavenotrace ・・・ Camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
DAY 6 PART A: At Rengärde before Gárddenvárri and where the trail meets the path to Mårma, which is where I had planned to walk from before I re-routed, there are plenty of opportunities to glimpse reindeer. I’m following Kungsleden north through Gárddenvággi with Gárddenvárri on the left and Giron straight ahead. Image 4 - Looking south from where I came from with the high, striking peaks of the Kåtotjåkka massif. ・・・ Riksgränsen to Abisko via Vistas 118 km - September 2019 ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #kungsleden ・・・ Camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
