I MIGHT be able to train up to Daisetzu-zan National Park as early as 3 days from now. I’m hoping to get there in time for at least part of the famed Grand Traverse, before snow shuts it down.
… This majestic trek spans 55 kms. of linking trails taking you to the roof of the park and over some of Hokkaido’s famous peaks. It can take anywhere from five to seven days, depending on a number of factors. …
To avoid a big part of the hike up, you can jump on the gondola at Asahi-dake Onsen Village, the most popular and convenient starting point. …
Leave a comment if you’ve advice on this one. I got drenched in the Alps, so I’m somewhat worried about RAIN.
