Sick of the Heat? Try One of These Cool Vacations
Bergen is a bustling seaport city, and the kick-off point for a new kayaking and hiking excursion led by outfitter REI.
This nine-day trip includes kayaking through the fjords, camping by the water, hiking to the summits of one of Norway's two highest peaks, Galdhøpiggen or Glittertind, culminating in a hike across the Nigardsbreen glacier. REI will offer this trip three more times this summer; July 19-27, Aug. 2-10, and Aug. 30-Sept. 7. The whole excursion is considered moderate. There's no need to be an expert hiker or kayaker, but you should feel comfortable spending four-seven hours on the water or on the trail each day. REI suggests getting into shape three months ahead of time, so if it's been a while since you've hit the gym, opt for the September trip for the most prep time.- Loading Comments...
