This was a quick evening hike from Løsetvatnet. The public route from Løsetvatnet runs via Kvamstua, but I normally head straight for the ridge and choose a steep off-trail ascent, over the extra 1km hike via Kvamstua and Høgenausa.

The evening light and colors were fantastic, and I was glad I brought the camera. It took me 55 minutes to the top (10:05pm), and 35 minutes back down. Total hiking distance was approx. 7,7km.
