TFiJ34: Trekking the Japanese Northern Alps, Part 1

Last year young Luke climbed his first mountain, Mt. Tateyama, here in Toyama Prefecture. This year's trekking trip was more ambitious- 3 days, 2 nights in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture. What an amazing trip! This episode, the first in a series of three, tells the story of our 1st day, one that featured a climb up the largest field of year-round snow in Japan, the "Daisekkei". With this video I'm aiming to not only tell a family story, but also to introduce what it's like to trek in this beautiful part of our world. Hope you like it!
