You step out of the minivan where the valley opens—steep walls of granite folding down to narrow water, a river that seems to push you toward the fjord. Salt air mixes with moss and wet rock; Hesjedalsfossen throws spray into the light and the peak known as Slottet looms like a weathered fortress above the town of Mo.
