Happo-one / Cloudy & Sunny 2021.Jun.20
The remaining snow is getting less and less in the trail from Cairn No.2 to Happo Cairn (Photo) and in better condition to walk. It has been rainy and cloudy since the rainy season started on June 14 (Mon), so the trails were maddy and wet this morning. By the way, Happo Alpen Line is open everyday from Saturday on June 12 (*Kurobishi Line will be open from July 1, Thursday).

Now is the best timing to enjoy those alpine plants of Yukiwarisou (Photo) and Miyamaazumagiku in Happo Nature Trail. We could see a lot of flowers of Yukiwarisou especially in the west side of Happo-ike Pond. There were much Miyamaazumagiku in the north side from Ridge Trail to Shakujii Cairn.

We could also find other flowers of Harurindo, Kijimushiro, Shojobakama, Iwakagami and Ikarisou. It was getting warmer slowly in the slightly cloudy weather, so I was light on my feet on the trail toward Cairn No.3. At Happo-ike Pond, the ice covering the pond had just started to break up with some cracks.
