Roof of Norway...part 2 (mount Dalsnibba)

We next passed through the mountains in 3 very long tunnels. Inside there are gates to help control extreme wind within in winter. Up, up we went on a new tooll road with many many hairpin turns to the summit of Mount Dalsnibba. This is a national park. The first picture is of two lakes which were passed as we ascended to the summit, each still with a fair amount of winter ice.
From 5000' we could look all around the "Roof" of Norway as well as overlook the Gerainger Fjord way below. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and we felt so fortunate to have such glorious weather. Pics do not do justice to this spectacular spot.
The last picture was taken on our way down from the summit as we approached the town of Gerainger at the head of the fjord of the same name.
