Day 2 of a 4 day over 100 mile hiking trip in Jämtland. After a long morning trek and dinner, I decided to hike Sylarna and cross the Sweden Norway border. One of the most beautiful and scary ridges I have ever been able to traverse. Forgive the weird start location on the gpx my watch glitched out, not much cell service in that area (especially for an American cellphone & watch). I began and ended right at the STF hut. Although this FKT will say over 4 hours, I was constantly stopping to see reindeer, take pictures, have a video call with friends from the top. Even got to see my first ever glacier and drink water right from the stream at the bottom of it. I'm proud of the closer to 2hr 30min of hiking time to complete this! Got back to the STF hut just in time to witness an amazing sunset over the mountains.
