Layover at Duo Lakes


The scenery here was fabulous so we spent an extra day and hiked up a ridge toward one of the peaks and got great views over Duo Lakes (left) and the river (right):





Bird of the Day:  Lapland Longspurs

Berry of the Day:   Oops, been informed by my sister that these are bearberries!



In the evening a big thundershower came through so it was early to bed!

  1. Excited to see the day-by-day commentary of your expedition. But I have to tell you that that your plant of the day is red fruit bearberry (Arctous ruber) rather than partridge berry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea). A very cool little plant in its own right, with a much more restricted distribution- not found in Sweden, but it does grow in China and Kamchatka.
