Trek 13 ndash souTH alps Traverse sTage 3
a rocky spine marked on the map as 竜尾見晴 (lsquodragon-tail viewpointrsquo) where a sign indicates 1hr 20min to Kuma-no-daira hut Pick your way across the dragonrsquos tail with vistas of the undulating ridge of Mt Shiomi to the southeast
After re-entering the forest gradually ascend for 20min to find a faint trail leading to the ridge on the right for Mt Shinjanuke 新蛇抜山 Climb this trail for 5min to the sum-mit (2667m) for another view with which you can gauge your progress Now carry on straight dipping below the tree line and then going up along a rocky path through birch and wildflowers The angle steepens and the trail splits with an easier path below the ridge to the left and a ridge trail lead-ing right Take the right fork and further on emerge from the trees then climb a short way to the unmarked summit of Mt Kita-Arakawa-dake 北荒川岳 (2698m) where steep cliffs of sandy scree drop away dramatically4
Drop left off the summit and negotiate a trail of loose scree before dropping off the ridge to a flat area with a dilapi-dated wooden hut These are the ruins of an old campground and a signpost reads 幕営禁止 (no camping allowed) Veer right and climb gently through a wonderful grassy field with yellow summer ragwort flowers easily the most scenic part of the stage
There is a fantastic view of the steep crumbly ridge leading to the summit of Mt Shiomi directly in front of you
Sub-alpine forest of Ermanrsquos birch is encountered frequently on the route

a rocky spine marked on the map as 竜尾見晴 (lsquodragon-tail viewpointrsquo) where a sign indicates 1hr 20min to Kuma-no-daira hut Pick your way across the dragonrsquos tail with vistas of the undulating ridge of Mt Shiomi to the southeast
After re-entering the forest gradually ascend for 20min to find a faint trail leading to the ridge on the right for Mt Shinjanuke 新蛇抜山 Climb this trail for 5min to the sum-mit (2667m) for another view with which you can gauge your progress Now carry on straight dipping below the tree line and then going up along a rocky path through birch and wildflowers The angle steepens and the trail splits with an easier path below the ridge to the left and a ridge trail lead-ing right Take the right fork and further on emerge from the trees then climb a short way to the unmarked summit of Mt Kita-Arakawa-dake 北荒川岳 (2698m) where steep cliffs of sandy scree drop away dramatically4
Drop left off the summit and negotiate a trail of loose scree before dropping off the ridge to a flat area with a dilapi-dated wooden hut These are the ruins of an old campground and a signpost reads 幕営禁止 (no camping allowed) Veer right and climb gently through a wonderful grassy field with yellow summer ragwort flowers easily the most scenic part of the stage
There is a fantastic view of the steep crumbly ridge leading to the summit of Mt Shiomi directly in front of you
Sub-alpine forest of Ermanrsquos birch is encountered frequently on the route
