Tateyama

(click on the pix above to see more!)

Adam, Katya and I went hiking this past Thursday. We had the day off, but it felt like playing hookey. We left fairly early in the morning to try and beat the traffic and get a head start. We were headed to an area that Adam likes to go off piste. Tateyama is listed in the Lonely Planet Hiking guide and there's a full-day loop that traverses a wonderful ridgeline that's entirely above tree line. We lucked out with some fantastic weather. We even caught a rare glipse of Mt. Fuji. I highly recommend the hike in good weather.
