Photos from Gimsøy last July, in fantastic summer weather. It's a spectacular hike, but we were alone the whole time, for seven hours. This was at the peak of the tourist season, but since the hike/mountain is not on the typical "Top 10 places you have to visit" lists, we had it for ourselves. It's just an example of how "crowded" Lofoten is when you avoid the tourist hotspots.

Tip: If you want to do the most popular hikes, like Reinebringen, Ryten/Kvalvika, Fløya/Djevelporten, Mannen, Offersøykammen, etc: Go very early or very late in the day. It's midnight sun from around now until mid July, so it doesn't really matter (if not sun, at least daylight).

  1. Seems I can’t edit the post, but it’s from **Skjolden** (540m) and **Svarttinden** (753m) ([Map link](https://norgeskart.no/#!?project=norgeskart&layers=1001&zoom=8&lat=7576221.36&lon=473208.41&sok=svartti&markerLat=7576221.364738549&markerLon=473208.4091587801&p=searchOptionsPanel))
