      It’s my pleasure to share. Yes, there is a fall season in Iceland. It’s quite short but we get bursts of gorgeous colors. It’s getting a little chillier but not too bad.
      I’m well. How are you?

    @chrisdrews5827 Před 4 měsíci

    We were there last June and went about 2 miles back, of course it wasn't as busy as we went about 8:00 at night. The trail gets pretty dicey the farther you go.

    • @AllThingsIceland
      @AllThingsIceland  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes, the farther you go the more you are going into the highlands, which has much tougher and intense terrain.

      So you could easily take your time and set and have lunch and, of course, definitely pack in everything. I love to go hiking, and I have my own little special method that I use to keep all trash from the environment. Call me weird, but I sometimes, depending on the hike, will bring some disposable gloves to pick up another crash as long as it wouldn't bring me harm.
      I'm planning on visiting Iceland next summer if my budget allows it.

    • @AllThingsIceland
      @AllThingsIceland  Před 8 měsíci +1

      The bottom is lovely but beyond just the top is pretty epic. 😊 To be fair, this trail is not talked about a lot because most associate it with the Fimmvörðuháls hike into the highlands.
