Offersøykammen Hike

Today we got up to some cloudy skies, but still a bit of sun! We ate some breakfast in the rain, but I checked the radar and it looked like at our hike it wouldn‘t be raining so we headed on…and it was sunny and gorgeous! There were clouds so it would go behind them sometimes, but it was a perfect day for a hike! Still freezing cold, but not as windy and the sun really helps. So we headed up Offersøykammen which from afar looked like more than I wanted to do, it was a mountain with a gentle-ish looking slop on one side with super steep cliffs on the other. Once we started up it wasn’t too bad - much less steep than yesterday and I must have been going pretty slow as Raymond was in front (usually I hike in front, but the trails here are a mess and he is MUCH better at trail finding than I am so he has been going in front more often so I don’t take us who knows where!) and he kept stopping and asking if I was doing okay. Really I was trying to not get too hot and sweaty as I took off all the layers I could and I didn’t want to be sweaty when we took breaks as then I would freeze! And I did pretty good at that, much better than yesterday! When it is so cold I really need to be careful to not be wet in the freezing wind! So it wasn’t too bad, and didn’t actually take us that long to hike up. We were surprised when we got to the top as we thought we had a way to go yet!

We had lunch at the top enjoying the amazing views! It was so gorgeous! We could see the much taller mountain we climbed yesterday and where we will be going tomorrow. So much fun!

Then it was back down through all the beautiful fall colors! I have really been enjoying that the past 2 days! It makes it so much prettier walking! Then off for some chores and to camp, but I will put that in another post.Read more
