Yllas - Finnish Lapland

Yllas was the last stop on our Lapland tour. We had stayed in a cabin on Lake Akaslompolo and did a hike around that lake. The colours of the trees were breathtaking. We went out for dinner this night and I remember Alex having a pizza with about 20 ingredients on it.
The next day we did a hike along the Wizards Trail. It was almost 4km long and Maddy had hiked the whole thing herself! We were very proud of her. She really was a trooper. In the afternoon we did a final hike along the Cloudberry Path before we hopped on the train back to Helsinki.
Overall, it was a fabulous trip!!! So much different from any of the other European trips we had done, with so much hiking and cabins and saunas and reindeer (both walking around and on our plates). And of course we got to hang out with Alex.
Hoping we can head back to Lapland sometime this year, and maybe we'll get lucky and see some Northern Lights this time.
