A long day on the Dovrefjell

 Today was more difficult than a 15.5 mile, 1600' elevation gain hike would imply. 

The day started of as usual - donning our venerable hiking boots, and heading back up above the tree line.

The expansive views above were paired with rocky terrain below.

We crossed many creeks. This one even had a bridge; most of the rest had us hop-scotching across the rocks to keep our feet dry. 

Getting across the bogs was made easier by what seemed like miles of (sometimes rickety) boardwalks.

Our feet especially appreciated the newly upgraded sections. 

The long approach to this creek had us a bit on edge.  It wasn't until the last moment, through the trees, that we noticed the bridge! We weren't looking forward to rock hopping over this one. 

We spent hours walking around this lake before arriving at our lodging for the evening.
