On the last day of the tour weather was even worse than the days before. Rain was continuos and served together with with SE-wind and miserable sight. After reaching summit of Mt. Biei-Dake (2052 m A.S.L.) the trail to Mt. Tokachi-Dake (2077 m A.S.L.) was covered with sand and gravel and would have been demanding already. Weather however decided to bear a challenge and wind was blowing quite strong. From the peak we headed in direction of Mt. Kamihorokamettoku. Soon we escaped the winds an descended to Tokachi-Dake Onsen. Finally sight of the terrific vulcanic landscape became better. Body and gear were restored at Tokachidake-Onsen.
