Let's go to a mountain trail together with your Brompton.
Brompton and I continued to trace the grand old trail, going downhill along the Shimashima Valley river. I found a beautiful waterfall at Iwanadome.
The grand old trail was quite beautiful though a little tricky.
A couple of ladders on the way.
Some bridges over the streams were scary to go across with Brompton.
This bridge was not for use.
However, a part of the trail was a fantastic single track.
Brompton and I passed by the Shimashimatani canyon along the river. There was a wooden plank road beside the cliff.
Winds blew between trees and cliffs.
Watch your step carefully when you go through a part of the trail covered by gravel of landslide.
Sometimes the trail goes very high from the river level.
Arriving at the mid-point between the Tokugo pass and Shimashima. But...., Shimashima was still very far, 8.9 km away from this point.
There was a fresh landslide. Be aware of falling rocks and your steps.
We were finally approaching the end of the trail.
The trail ends here.
Brompton and I proceeded another 6 km on the unpaved but flat road toward Shimashima. It was an easy ride if compared with the trail.
Arriving in the junction of Shimashima Village to join Route 158 which connects Matsumoto and Takayama.
From the junction, we soon arrived at Shin-Shimashima Station to catch the train bound for Matsumoto Station.
At Matsumoto Station, changing to JR to have a sheet on Azusa Super Express bound for Shinjuku.
I was able to have dinner at home. What a wonderful day it was! Do you want to experience such a fantastic trail ride? Let's go there with me next season if you love to.
