More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a narrow ridge as the sun refuses to set, the canyon below yawning a hundred meters into shadow and stone. Korouoma’s walls rise like weathered pages of bedrock, fissures and ledges catching the pale gold that stretches across the Lappish horizon. The air is cool and sharp; rivers of moss and tiny streams thread the valley floor and the canyon seems to breathe around you.
