At some point I thought I had found the route to the lower trail, but the traces I followed in wetland were probably made by moose.
I don't know if it's a good thing in true wilderness. Now I noticed that there were two tents higher up toward Vuojnestjåhkkå. Du älskar fjäll och vill upptäcka mer tillsammans med andra! Holy shit. But the forecast had changed, the next days didn't look promising at all.
Climbing Vuojnestjåhkkå (1952 m) twice (almost)
I woke up with the morning sun that was rising behind the mountains.
I had expected a very steep and rocky mountain, but a marked route run along mostly flat and easy to hike path.
I arrived at the saddle between Gierdogiesjitjåhkkå and Skierfe. Of my two weeks solo backpacking adventure in Swedish Lapland, I spent eight nights in Sarek.
How to get to Sarek National Park?
Sarek National Park is located between two other national parks: Stora Sjöfallet and Padjelanta.
We all got back to the jungle, Swedes first, me scampering behind them later.
I lost GPS signal many times, and it was difficult to locate myself on the map on the many trails in the forest. I had peace in my heart. Vägen blir både slingrig och smal innan vi till slut når Ritsem där vi parkerar och kliver ombord på båten som tar oss över Akkajaure.
I also thanked myself for having the coordinates of my tent in my phone, as I navigated around two hundred meters to the wrong direction. It was the kind of moment, where I feel the most connected to the universe. Bokas liksom utresan på samma biljett.

Att leva i och med naturen är en livsstil för mig.
The thunder warning was at 5 PM, if I was fast enough, I might get down in time... I went first to the other side of the mountain to see Vuojnesjiegna glacier, then to the other side to see Lake Bierikjávrre.
The high fell scenery gave glimpses of the ruggedly beautiful wilderness I was about to enter.It was time to climb down, the visibility was close to zero.
I took some fresh water on the way back to my camp. Vi passerar dalgångens högsta punkt och det börjar luta svagt utför. Then I checked what time it was, and estimated how long the summit journey would take. I also found fresh water after the glacier streams, it would have been wise to carry more water on a hot day.
I was grateful for surviving Rapa Valley. I decided to walk through the pass, and summit just a 1066 m peak and a view point at the South-East side of the mountain.
A steep trail led to River Jilájåhkå. I walked the same route I hiked yesterday, as I had found good spots to cross the streams. Efter en gemensam lunch packar vi in allt i minibussar och far västerut mot fjällvärlden.
Then I headed up to the mountain carrying my trekking backpack and all my stuff. Likaså att hinna smaka på söta hjortron eller notera fjällets små, vackra blommor.
