Happo-one / Sunny2020.Aug.19
What a beautiful day today! It was forecast to be a fine day, so the bottom gondola station had a long line of hikers still even in the early morning on a weekday after Obon Holidays. In Ridge Trail (Photo), there was a breeze from the south east, but the strong sunlight made us sweaty very quickly during trekking.

Along the trail toward Shakujii Cairn, we could find a lot of Tamurasou (Photo) which usually blooms from the late summer to early autumn. From Shakujii Cairn to Happo-ike Pond, the flowers to see were Takanematsumushisou, Iwashobu, Umebachisou and Miyamakogomegusa. Hakusanshajin were almost passing its peak, but we could see them in whole trails still.

At Happo-ike Pond, the amazing view of the mountains welcomed us. I could hear the people getting excited and impressed and see they taking photos from the wooden deck in the east one after another. The surface of the pond was almost quite in the breeze and the refreshing air let us forget the hotness in the foot.

Most of people kept trekking toward Mt. Karamatsu after a break at Happo-ike Pond and Cairn No. 3. In the north east, the peaks of Togakushi Renpo, Mt. Hiuchi and Mt. Amakazari appeared in the hazy sky. Unusually, the sky was still clear even after 11:00 a.m, so we could enjoy the view of Northern Alps for a much longer time today.
