Trip Report

Fuji Mountain is a nice hike. We started early, kept a good pace, and avoided the warmer temps which came later. We saw no one else until after we reached the peak. There were several bikes and hikers during the second half of this popular hike. We enjoyed our snack break on the peak, in the sun, while looking out over the wonderful view afforded by a 7000 foot+ peak.
