This is a good year for Kobaikeisou. They are at their best in Mizubasho Marsh, Watasuge Marsh and Ukishima Marsh from July 10 (Tue). And also yellow Miyama-kinpouge are also in full bloom in Mizubasho Marsh.

People started early because it was a three-day weekend, and Tsugaike Central Parking Area was almost full at 6:00 a.m., same as yesterday. The ropeway was operating specially from the first operation. I went above the clouds when I was riding the ropeway, and it was sunny in Tsugaike Nature Park. Although the wind was blowing weakly, the sunshine was strong and it was a a scorching hot day.

I reached Tenbou Marsh by an hour and 20 minutes from the entrance of the park. Luckily, there were only few clouds so, I could see Hakuba Sanzan (From right Mt. Hakuba, Mt. Shakushi and Mt. Hakuba Yarigatake) in the clear blue sky.

I went to the west route of Mizubasho Marsh on my way back and I found fresh Hiougi-ayame. The clouds rose late today, and I could enjoy the view of Northern Alps even at noon.
