If hikers are not used to walking on the snow, please bring crampons, be careful to act.

Sometimes the sign to show the trail is fallen down or difficult to find.
Hikers seemed not to walk on the trail and walked on the flower. (look the picture, please.)
Watching the route carefully, hikers can find the trail.
We think that for hikers finding the trail is hard, but keep in mind walking the right trails.
Once you make foot prints, the plant will take a long time to recover.
