New Trails

Once the snow melts off the ground here in in Hokkaido, the vegetation grows like crazy.  Some trails that I have had my eye on had not had any trail maintenance for about a year and were in desperate need of a brush cutter’s razor. I tried to walk through one of them in early summer and found that it was nearly impassable. A machete would have been handy.

The maintenance has finally been done and they are still fixing some parts of the track, including putting in some new stairs, hopefully not too many.  Quite rooty and techincal at the top, but then faster and easier down near the bottom.

The fall colors are really impressive presently.
