Happo-one / Sunny 2021.Jul.17
We had a beautiful Saturday after the rainy season finished (Photo). The scenic trails and refreshing air made me more and more excited as I climbed up. Although I took the first lift of Happo Alpen Line at 6:30 a.m, I met some people who were already coming down and they said, “The view of Happo-ike Pond was amazing this morning!” and “You must be able to take good photos today!”

At Happo-ike Pond, a magnificent view jumped into my eyes as expected (Photo). One of the people taking pictures at the wood deck beside the pond said, “The clouds will come and hide the mountains at around 9:00 a.m….” and another one answered, “No, clouds should hesitate to show up because the rainy season has been over!”

Now is the best season of the alpine flowers. I could find the red of Shimotsukesou, purple of Kugaisou, yellow of Nikkokisuge and white of Toriashisyoma along Alpen Quad. Especially, Chishimagikyo (Photo) had much more flowers than usual around Cairn No.3.

The east side view of Yatsugatake Renpo Peaks (Photo) was so beautiful as well as the west side including the three peaks of Hakuba, Mt. Goryu and Mt. Kashimayarigatake. When I came down to Happo-ike Sanso Hut on the way back to the village, the clouds already came up there. They cooled me down comfortably while on the lift as the natural cool air conditioner.
