Backpacking SAREK NATIONAL PARK, Arctic Sweden, Camping Above RAPADALEN delta.

[norwegianxplorer]

Sarek National Park in Arctic Sweden is one of the most pretty places I have been to. After hiking the famous Kings Trail for a day and a half, I walk into the mountains on the south side of Rapadalen Valley and find the camp of a lifetime overlooking this incredible river delta known for being the prettiest place in Sweden. As far as I have seen I can confirm that it is! Enjoy!

So beautiful. That river (Rapadelen River?) looks like it would be great for packrafting. Have you or do you know if others packraft it? Any good combined backpack/packraft trips in Sarek?

Incredible as always! The slow pan at 16:30 is one of many mesmerizing all encompassing landscapes with no manmade objects in view. Very therapeutic. I think I see a big white bird (or plane?) at bottom of river delta screen at 8:36, I wonder what that is? Heron or raptor?

I am not sure, but I bet it is good for packrafting, I know it can be pretty swift most of the summer.

Thank you, I was trying to look for bears and moose with my binoculars but couldnt see any, this area is know for its moose population.

Well done @norwegianxplorer ! What a beautiful river valley. My jealousy needle is pointed to "Very High" right now.
What were the daily temperatures like? And did you do this is July or August?

Hey, this was in early August, I am guessing day temperatures would have been around 55°
