More windy fjells in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, Finland, during my six-week solo ski tour. I was hesitant to leave the safety of the wilderness hut where I stayed during a blizzard that had winds over 20 m/s and lasted three days. (I’ve posted a pic earlier of that same hut in the storm. https://pixelfed.social/p/JakeHikes/791183662872251330) Once the storm wound down, I left but was still on alert that it might gain more power again.

Badlands National Park Wall South Dakota

So this whole purpose of this trip was:
1. To get away from normal life and to get refreshed a little bit.
2. To hike.
3. To learn some new techniques...
4. And to capture a certain picture that I had in my minds eye.

#Hiking to the Natural #Arch today. We hadn't been there in several years, and the trail to it was a bit more adventurous than we remembered (or maybe we're just getting old), but we made it, and the views are definitely worth it. This is an area that burned in the 2001 Cerro Grande fire, and the hillsides are still littered with dead tree trunks; but you can also see all the thriving young ponderosas, planted by volunteers, especially kids from the local schools, after the fire.
