P-Day Hikes - Kvaløya - Kattfjordeidet

Image
Most P-days the younger missionaries love to get out and hike.   We try and keep up and hike with them... Kvaløya   is  Norway's  fifth largest island.  The whole island is located in  Tromsø  municipality.  The largest population centers are: Kvaløysletta ,  Storelva ,  Kaldfjord , Brennholmen  and  Ersfjordbotn , but there are scattered settlements along the coast over almost the entire island.  There is also a population of about 600 Reindeer on the island.

If you come in July, early August you can enjoy this scenery map of the 18 hole layout, lots of water hazards all the modern conveniences are here even if it is out in the middle of nowhere view of the driving range Mom's favorite part of the gold course, the little cabins (hytte) to enjoy a sauna There really i...
