Drive to Silfar Canyon

Today we got up and saw that our weather luck was going to run out today. The radar showed a large band of rain right where we were going and it wasn’t really going to go away all day…so I planned a few shorter hikes instead of the longer one we were going to do as I don’t mind short jaunts in the rain, but longer ones? Not so fun. Only the weather wasn’t that bad at all! Raining most of the day, but only lightly or sprinkling. I was expecting it to be pouring based on the radar! But we were already on our way to the short hikes so off we went.

Of course we stopped at all the rest stops/places to pull over that looked really nice (like the first two photos) and had short wanders. The drive was gorgeous! Through some mountains then up in a plateau where it leveled out and was so much nothing! Though we did see a big heard of reindeer up there (you can see them sitting on the ground in the one photo, though they are blurry)! Then down along the one fjord with some fun waterfalls and stuff along the way (I had had more trails marked, but some of them had no parking! So we had to just move on to the next). I absolutely love all the fall colors! And the water! And the mountains! Oh and we were stopped at a construction light for a bit and then suddenly some sheep came on the road! We were like where did you come from?? As it was just a mess of construction!Read more
