#13 Skúmhöttur

Skúmhöttur is the second tallest mountain in the range between Fljótsdalshérað and Reyðarfjörður. It consists mostly of rhyolite but the peak itself is of darker rock formation. From Egilsstaðir you drive road no 95 until you pass Litla Sandfell farm. Make a left turn and go through the gate and continue until you come to an old bridge by Þórisá river. There is a parking area. Walk from the sign by Þórisá river and along the ridge until you are on the top, 1229 m. A good walk and an interesting mountain.
