Our primary reason to go to Lofoten was to do serious day hiking. I already posted photos from our hike to the summit of Offerkoysammen mountain and this thread is about other views in Lofoten that can't be driven to.
We knew the hiking would be more strenuous than any that we had ever done, so we trained by increasing our jogging time. Doing that proved to be helpful as the hiking was so intense that both my wife and I lost weight during our holiday.
The first two photos are from a well known hike to Munkebu Hut, the longest hike we have ever taken. The third photo is Kvalvika Beach. The last two images are from the summit of Holandsmelen mountain: my wife walking the trail and a view of Vik Beach (on the left) and Utakleiv Beach far below.

Nice set, Mike. The color shots are all awesome! Sounds like you had a great time. My wife does that to me too when we go on holiday. We eat like horses and lose weight. Go figure.
My attendance on CIC lately has been spotty due to a lot of travel etc. I've got to catch up on your Norway posts.

Thanks, guys!
Terry: The long hike was about 8 hours. We saw only two people our age on that hike and they weren't carrying equipment. As my wife says, we're always the slowest hikers but we get there and back and we have fun doing it.

These pictures might be costing me a lot of money - they are giving me itchy feet. Fantastic pictures of fantastic scenery.

You have done justice to what looks like a stunning area - well at least you have made it look stunning.

Thanks, everyone!
It's more stunning to be there than to review my or anybody's photos.
