Trip Summary

With quite a bit of snow around, still, we thought that it was the right day for taking our snow shoes out and into Kanadaskogen! From Varden, we first headed to Hesjaholten, where we put on the snow shoes. After stepping up (and around) Litla Krokatjørna, we crossed a hill to connect to Stora Krokatjørna. There, we decided to also include a visit to Storhovden (via Syningen). After a short round on the heights of Storhovden, we started our walk back. To round this excursion, we aimed at Langaheia via Spelhaugen. Always fun to venture into deep snow with snow shoes, but not easy-going to make many kilometers under such circumstances! :-)
