▴ Kiruna Church

Located in Sweden’s northernmost town, Kiruna Church is one of the largest wooden buildings in the country. Built in the early 20th century, its architecture is said to be inspired by Sámi goahti tents. Due to the town’s gradual relocation caused by mining activity, the church is also planned to be moved in the coming years.

As I approached the summit earlier this week, the trail steepened to the point that “ladders” (stairs) were installed to help hikers. However, the ladders (see pic from a previous summer) were completely covered with #snow and #ice making for a challenge in the ascent/descent. After starting with microspikes, I then put on full crampons to get down safely. #FootpathFriday #hiking #winter

Photo looking up at steep section of snow/ice-covered trail that has a ladder buried under snow. The trail consisted of several inches of powder snow on top of solid ice from a previous melt/freeze cycle. There was no evidence of the presence of the ladder as the snow and ice were deep. My foot prints show that I was sidestepping down to maintain balance. Evergreen trees line the trail. Osseo Trail, White Mountains, New Hampshire.
Photo looking up at set of wooden stairs, referred to as a “ladder” by hikers. The ladder is one of a series of ladders that lead up a particularly steep section of the mountain. I took this photo on an earlier hike in June, 2021 when it was warm and all of the green foliage was out. Osseo Trail, White Mountains, New Hampshire.
