Our fourth trip along the way was in Pyha. We hiked along the ski hills and also took a wonderful Isokuru hiking trail, which goes through Finland's deepest gorge. This was a very pleasant hike. We stayed overnight in an adorable cottage in Luosto, where we had a fireplace, bunk beds, and a sauna.
The following day we went to Kopara Reindeer Farm, where we could get buckets of food and feed the reindeer. It was truly a remarkable experience, we could pet them while they were eating and they would also eat out of our hands. Maddy got the most attention when she started letting them eat right out of the bucket, but ended up getting their antlers in her face since she was the wrong height, she thought it was pretty funny.
We also did a beautiful hike around the lake by our cabin, and then headed to Lampivaara Amethyst Mine, where we toured the mine and then got to hunt for our own amethyst stones. It was difficult for Alex since he's colourblind, but I ended up with quite a rare treasure, and Maddy enjoyed digging through the rocks. A very fun few days in the Pyha and Luosto area!!!!
