to Mt. Takao

Yesterday I enjoyed hiking in the mountain of Takao
with a friend of mine.

She has lived in Tokyo for a long time but it was her
first time to climb Mt. Takao.

I remembered she had asked me to take her to Mt. Takao
and I called her the day before yesterday.

I climbed Mt. Takao after an interval of six months!

We climbed the south face of the mountain---稲荷山コース.

The trail was wet and slippery and we walked very carefully.

Here we are!

At last we reached the top of Mt. Takao, then walked to もみじ台
and had lunch with なめこ汁.

Leaves were still green. Mt. Fuji was not to be seen.
But we were very happy to be there.

We took another trail to go down the mountain—いろはの森
～つり橋～浄心門～かすみ台～金毘羅台 and 高尾山口駅.

My friend had dull pain in her knees.

I hope she is all right today.












I like this suspenson bridge （つり橋） in the forest.
