Happo-one / Sunny&Cloudy2020.Sep.08
From September when it starts to be cooler to the autumn tints season (late-September to beginning of October), it can be said this period is the best season to enjoy trekking mountains. Especially, the foggy weather kept the temperature under 20 degrees for a long time this morning. It was cool enough to trek comfortably to Cairn No.2.

In the upper part of Happo Cairn, I felt even cold sometimes when stopping because of the strong wind from the south face. About the alpine plants, Umebashisou was still in good season and also we could see Takanematsumushisou, Tamurasou and Miyamaakinokirinsou.

It looked to be foggy before 10:00 a.m. at Happo-ike pond, but the wind blew the fogs away and the blue sky showed up. The 3 trekkers talked, “Hi, Snownavi! We always check your website. We are going to trek from Mt. Karamatsu to Mt. Goryu-dake for 2 days. By the way, we bought this freshly-baked bread at Tsuruya and it still has good fresh smell!” Tsuruya is a local-friendly supermarket and there are totally 35 stores in Nagano Pref.

From the beginning to the middle part of Boardwalk, we could see Hakusantaigeki (Photo) changing their colors. In the marshes between upper Boardwalk and Cairn No.2 and around Happo-ike Pond (Second Photo), the leaves of Iwaicho was showed a beautiful gradation from green to yellow. Oyamasoba was also changing its colors into orange or red, keeping their white flowers.
