Snowy gorges on the Mt. Aka course

On the trail to Mt.Akadake there are 3 spots remaining snow.
The first one is 5m snow near the entrance of Daiichi kaen.
The second one is 88m at Daini kaen.
The third one is 8m, 20m Daiyon sekkei.

These snow is very slippery and make “snow bridge”.
So hikers sometimes step through under the snow.
The trail condition is really bad because of melting snow water.

After snow melts, flowers start to bloom here and there.
At Komakusadaira “Dicentra peregrina” is blooming beautifully. The number of them is decreasing.
Around the summit there is no snow.
But when wind is strong, we feel very cold.
Please bring something warm to wear.
