Japan Traverse in Photos: The Chuo Alps (ไธญใ‚ขใƒซใƒ—ใ‚น)

The second stage of my Japan Alps Traverse covered the Chuo Alps (ไธญใ‚ขใƒซใƒ—ใ‚น) - aka the Central Alps. Our trek through the Chuo Alps Lasted only about 24 hours as this is the shortest of the three ranges comprising the Japanese Alps. We entered the Chuo Alps via the Fukushima A Course (็ฆๅณถAใ‚ณใƒผใ‚น) in the

Guide to Hiking the Mount Anne Circuit in Tasmania

The Mount Anne Circuit is named for the 4,669 ft / 1,423 m Mount Anne - the highest peak in Tasmania's Southwest National Park. I would expect the Mount Anne Circuit to circumnavigate Mount Anne (hence the circuit bit), but this track does no such thing. A more appropriate name may be the "Mount

My traverse of the Japanese Alps began at the eastern edge of Toyama Bay (ๅฏŒๅฑฑๆนพ) in Niigata Prefecture (ๆ–ฐๆฝŸ็œŒ). From the coast, my hiking party of two Kiwis and I headed up the northernmost ridgeline in the Kita Alps (ๅŒ—ใ‚ขใƒซใƒ—ใ‚น) - aka the Northern Alps. The trip began with nearly a week of nonstop rain as

Japan Alps Spreadsheet: Peaks, Huts, & Distances

I don't know that I would say I love data, but I do love being organized and data is one of those things that can be organized nicely. Maybe it's because of that that I spent way too long creating a spreadsheet listing all of the peaks, passes, huts, and trailheads of my Japan Alps Traverse (this

Japan Alps Traverse Map, Itinerary, and GPS Track

The route I would take through across the Japanese Alps was unsure at best before starting this traverse, but I managed to stick to my original plan (if you could call it that) fairly closely. Having now completed the traverse, I am sharing my day-by-day itinerary, statistics, and maps to help those
