This is the Iceland hike you can’t miss!
After spending 10 days in Iceland, this hike was one of our favorites! It’s definitely not an easy hike, but it’s well worth the views at the end!
📍 Múlagljúfur Canyon located in southeast Iceland
What to know:
- This hike is about 4.5 miles out and back if you hike to the top of the canyon! About 1,350ft of elevation gain.
- To reach the first viewpoint (where this video was taken) you only have to hike about 2.4 miles out and back. About 600 ft of elevation gain.
- We hiked to the top of the canyon and spent about 3.5 hours on the trail in total!
- Wear good hiking shoes because the terrain can be uneven and there’s some scrambling!
- Paid parking at the end of a gravel road. We were able to drive it easy in a 2wd vehicle in the summer! Just be careful of potholes!
- There IS a toilet!!! 🚽
📌 SAVE if you plan on visiting Iceland! 🇮🇸
