Been here?
A wild spot in a beautiful natural cirque, set away from the road and suitable for a quiet overnight stay. It has no facilities, and recent reports found it exposed to strong wind despite the sheltered appearance. The rough access track is passable by car, and the surroundings include striking views toward a glacier and canyon.

Beautiful place, quite far from main road, you can find some rocks to hide a little bit. Everything was completely fine UNTIL another car came to the place. A couple came to us and started asking suspicious questions: what are we doing here? how we get to know this place, because nobody knows it, and the woman asked us not to litter around. nothing happened then, but we got little panicked
Place fairly far from the road but very exposed to the wind, because the cliffs upstream cause winds from the coast to bounce back. Gusts are quite common in these areas, especially in autumn!Translating

Incredible spot in front of a glacier. Follow the track; it is somewhat rough but still accessible by car. Peaceful night. Northern lights. Perfect.Translating
Great spot for spending the night, beautiful and quiet, close to the road. No 4x4 needed. Warning: sharp welcome... On the right there are nails; most have been collected, but please look carefully.Translating
Very good spot, somewhat close to Route 1 but quiet enough. A really beautiful view of a canyon.Translating
Quiet place, somewhat visible from the road but really discreet, with no noise at all. Problem-free night!Translating
Very good spot, hidden from Route 1 and the wind. There is enough space for several cars; I recommend it! No toilets, just a vacant lot.Translating
Discreet, but difficult to be completely invisible from the road, with no amenities. Spacious area.Translating
