The first hike of our fall trip was in the hills outside of Vinstra, where John's family has a cabin. The timberline is roughly 3000' above sea level. We lucked out with a rare sunny afternoon. Fall colors were just beginning to emerge in the tundra ground cover.

| Hiking trails abound in the foothills above the Gudbrandsdalen Valley, leading into Rondane National Park. |
 |
| Of course, John isn't one to stick to the established trails! |
 |
| Rain threatened, but thankfully didn't arrive until we'd returned to the cabin. |
 |
| White lichen and "reindeer moss" provide a nice contrast to the changing fall colors. |
 |
| Trails are marked year round for XC skiing |
