We saw some pretty amazing terrain and sights while on this hike up Mt. Fuji to the 5th station as I've posted before. But this shows a little bit of how nicely it started of and that in no means could we know there was snow before station 5. Look at how nice it all looks.
Near the Temple at the bottom of the hiking path Joanie
continues her path as a tree hugger.
Japan has cool monkey statues! This was just near station 1.
I'd love to know the history of this little piece. It's great.
There were two facing each other if I recall correctly.
The path is well worn and was the same path walked up Mt. Fuji way back.
Notice the part of the path where it splits and one path traverses across.
That's where we were headed and it all seems so attainable on the little piece of stone.
Nothing to worry about right?
This was a very cool broken down shack at station 2 or maybe it was 3.
Mil was commenting on our determination in the hike.
It wasn't an easy one and at this point we had just gone through
a whole bunch of wooden steps. After walking all morning our legs felt a little heavy.
It would almost seem that we were the first
group to hike up from the bottom for the year.
There was a lot of destruction, fallen trees etc that
made the path that much more interesting.
The snow begins. We all know how it ended. If not, just click on
the post about climbing Mt. Fuji to get the whole story.
