I was able to see sea of clouds to the east until around 7:00 a.m. However, the clouds went up, which hanged over Mt. Goryu and Mt. Kashima-yari after that. Hakuba Sanzan was fully covered with the clouds when I tried to see from Ridge Trail around 7:30 a.m.. I found some white flowers along the trail, including Miyama-touki, Hanachidakesashi and Yamabuki-shoma.

I reached above the clouds again when I reached near Happo Cairn. Although I rode the first Happo Alpen Line to come here, the areas around No.3 Cairn was the summer-like atmosphere and crowded with people, including those who stayed overnight at Happo-ike Sanso or Karamatsudake Chojo Sanso and those who hiked from Cafeteria Kurobishi.

The mirror-like Happo-ike Pond appeared for the second time this season! I saw people admiring it and taking souvenir pictures one after another on the deck, which is the viewpoint of the pond.The rising clouds covered the scenery for a while around 8:30 a.m.. However, I could sometimes enjoy the view of the Northern Alps even after that.

In Happo-One Nature Trail, the toilets near No.2 Cairn is now available along with the one in front of Happo-ike Sanso. There were many hikers, including families with small children. Thank you for having a chat with me.
