Trolltunga

nobody@ipernity.com (RHH) — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 13:32:22 +0000

RHH has posted:

Trolltunga (Troll's Tongue) is a tongue-shaped outcrop that hangs nearly 2000 feet above the lake, Ringedalsvatnet. It is a popular hiking destination but is at the end of a rather difficult hiking trail, 13-16 miles with as much as 4000 feet of elevation gain depending on one's starting point. When we hiked here, part of our Norway trip, we found the trail and Trolltunga itself very busy. There was a long line of people waiting to have their photo taken out on the rock. We did not go out on the rock, but that was due to none of us being comfortable with heights such as this. We watched others, had our lunch and then hiked back.

This troll was photographed at Steindalsfossen, a waterfall we stopped to see while on our way to Trolltunga (Troll's Tongue).

Ringedalsvatnet

RHH has posted:

Ringedalsvatnet is a lake in the mountains of Norway near Odda. When this photo of the lake was taken we were hiking along the cliffs above the lake to Trolltunga (Troll's Tongue), a rocky outcrop that hangs 2000 feet above the lake. The 13 mile hike took most of the day and though very busy was worth the time and effort and once we had reached this part of the hike the views were spectacular.

Trolltunga is a rocky outcrop that hangs nearly 2000 feet above the like Ringedalsvatnet and a popular hiking destination, though the hike is rated at extremely demanding. We were on the second leg of that hike, a rather level trail across the tundra when this photo was taken. We had nearly reached the third section of the hike a walk along the cliffs above Ringedalsvatnet to Trolltunga. The valley in which the lake is found can be seen in the distance and other hikers on the left of the photo.

Bondhusvatnet

RHH has posted:

This is Bondhusvatnet, an alpine lake near Odda, Norway. We hiked to the lake, short and easy hike before going back to Odda for groceries and then on to a hostel in Troilltunga where we would stay for two nights. We had traveled from Bergen and would be hiking in the mountains near Trolltunga. The hike, though easy, was very busy as were most of the places we visited in Norway.

Traveling from Bergen to Trolltunga we hiked a short trail near Odda. The trail took us along the river Bonduselva up to en alpine lake, Bondusvatnet. The trail was very busy, as were most of the places we visited in Norway, but it was a pleasant opportunity to stretch our legs and a nice ending to a relaxed day of traveling.

Mount Assiniboine and Lake Magog

This is the view of Mount Assiniboine and Lake Magog from the lodge. The lodge is a popular place for fishermen, campers, climbers and others and can be reached either by hiking or by helicopter. There are flights in and out several times a week. We visited the lodge after hiking to a nearby ridge, the Niblet and enjoyed some cold drinks and snacks there. It is about a half mile hike from the campground to the lodge.

My apologies for such a late post. Had a very busy day working on projects in the house and outdoors and did not get to Ipernity until late this afternoon. Baked bread and made salsa this morning, mowed the lawn, fixed a trailer tire and worked in the vegetable garden this afternoon.

There is a lodge at Mount Assiniboine near Lake Magog and daily helicopter flights in season for fishermen, campers, climbers and others. We backpacked to the lake and visited the lodge on the Thursday we were there, when they have snacks and drinks for sale for backpackers. We each had a cold drink and a snack there after hiking to the Niblet earlier in the day.

Sunburst Peak and Lake

RHH has posted:

One of the two plus days we camped at Lake Magog in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia, we day-hiked to the Niblet, a viewpoint on a ridge above this peak and lake, both named Sunburst. The photo was taken not far from our campground as we passed both Sunburst and Cerulean Lakes. Mount Assiniboine, though the dominant peak in the area, does not show much from this perspective and is the peak to the left of Sunburst. The previous three days had been spent backpacking in to Lake Magog and it felt good to hike without backpacks.

These were our tents at Lake Magog in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia when we backpacked there earlier this summer. The tent in the foreground is mine and the other belongs to my son-in-law. The B.C. parks often have the platforms even in the backcountry, perhaps to protect the area. There was still some snow on the ground as is also evident in the photo. We stayed here for two nights before packing out.

Sunset, Clear Lake

RHH has posted:

Two weeks ago, while it was still hot and very dry here, my wife and I took our kayaks down to the lake near our house and spent the evening kayaking around the lake and ended the day watching the sunset from our kayaks, a very pleasant evening and perhaps the last chance we will have to use the kayaks since the weather has turned cool and rainy.

The weather has changed here to cool and rainy, but the last weeks have been hot and dry. One of those hot evenings we went kayaking on the lake near our home, Clear Lake, and after spending several hours on the lake watched the sunset from our kayaks before heading home.

This photo shows Lake Magog, Mount Magog and Mount Assiniboine from the short trail to Lake Magog from the campground which was our final destination on our family backpacking trip. Myself, my son-in-law and his two oldest boys hiked to Mount Assiniboine from Sunshine Meadows ski resort near Canmore. Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park is in British Columbia on the border with Alberta, a border which we crossed several times while hiking. The peaks shown lie on that border.

Backpacking to Mount Assiniboine we camped our second night at Og Lake. We arrived and set up camp in the afternoon and later watched the sunset. It was a beautiful spot but the mosquitoes were very bad. In the photo, several other campers' tents are visible on the lower right and Mount Assiniboine looms above the other peaks on the right..

Mount Assiniboine is known as the "Matterhorn of the Rockies." It is in British Columbia west of the city of Banff and Banff National Park. This photo was taken at sunset from the shores of Lake Og where we camped a night on our backpacking excursion to Assiniboine.

Our backpacking excursion to Mount Assiniboine began at the Sunshine Meadows Ski Resort. With many others we took the gondola up to the ski lodge and then hiked to the top of one of the ski runs (the lift was not running) and saw this view from the Standish Viewpoint. The three lakes are from left to right, Rock Isle Lake, Grizzly Lake and Larix Lake.
