Awa-dake Hike


It's gray and drizzly today, so I finally have time to sit down and post about last weekend's hike.  Hooray!

Two weeks ago, Loren and I visited Furushi-dake, but noticed a trail leading to its sister mountain, Awa.  This very helpful website said that the Awa-dake hike was about 5-6 hours, so we decided to check it out on a later endeavor.  

 
The cherry blossoms (sakura) on the Motobu peninsula were in full bloom last weekend, so we decided that it would be prime time for a hike.
