To make the most of your summer hike in Korouoma Canyon, here’s what we recommend packing (Please note that these are not required and are just nice bonuses):

• Even on warm days, temperatures can dip under the forest canopy or by waterfalls—bring a light fleece or windbreaker.

• Summer showers in Lapland can roll in unexpectedly; a packable rain shell will keep you dry.

• Good grip and ankle support are essential on rocky trails and near slippery falls.

• Sunglasses, a broad-brimmed hat, and high-SPF sunscreen will guard you during exposed stretches.

• Mosquitoes and black flies can be active in July and August—spray on before you head out.

• Stay hydrated on the 5 km route—there are places to refill from crystal-clear streams.

• You won’t want to miss capturing the dramatic cliffs and cascading waterfalls!

With these items in tow, you’ll stay comfortable, safe, and ready for every Summer Korouoma moment!
