Route description (going counterclockwise). To start the route, (from Buck Creek Trailhead), hike back along the road, and then up to the Phelps Creek Trailhead on the 3 mile gravel road. The Phelps Creek Trail leads 5.3 miles through a pleasant forest with frequent fords, to the edge of Spider meadows. Beyond Spider Meadows is a steep and hot climb to Larch Knob. Spider Meadows, Cloudy Pass and Buck Creek Pass all have absolutely gorgeous wildflower displays, Cloudy Pass having some of the best wildflower meadows I’ve ever seen in my life.

This is a route around the whole of Lake Storsjön - Sweden's fifth biggest lake. The route follows predominantly main and smaller roads.

Starting and finishing in Stortorget in the centre of Östersund you will travel round the whole of the lake by following this route.

This route starts at the Pirate’s Bight sign on Norman Islands.  Head out of the restaurant area and up the road, when the road spilts go straight up the mountain. If you go right it is a mistake. I did that the first time and it was a bust. I went back to the Pirate’s Bight sign and started over. So go up the hill, at the top go left and follow the double track around the island to Money Bay, there is another spilt stay right and at the beach, as you come down from the ridge you will see a decorated tree, it has shoes and shells on it. Touch it.
