We decided since the weather was getting a little nicer, it would be a good time to take a hike. We drove over to Oshima Island, and the plan was to hike Mt. Inoyama, which has an observation tower at the top. We parked at the bottom, and started hiking!
First stop....about 15 minutes into hiking....the bridge in the back connects Iwakuni to Oshima Island.
Oh yea, check out the baby bump
Random rock we found...it has been cut in half and looked like a butterfly - who knows if it is supposed to be like that or not!
Come to find out...there is a parking lot at the top next to the observation deck...grrrr!
After an hour of hiking straight up, we made it to the top of the mountain, and the observation deck. It was a clear day for the most part. Crazy that it was about 20 degrees colder on top of the observation deck, than on the mountain....we stayed long enough to take pictures and left.
This is a view of Iwakuni City from Oshima Island
Coming back down the mountain...I think
Another view from the top
View from the second deck of the observation tower...not as windy or cold
Looking down from the top deck of the observation tower
Looking out towards Yanai, little hazier towards the south
This is our "Take the picture, I'm freezing" look
It took another 30 minutes to hike down the mountain, but overall it was a good hike.
I did tell Jon several times, that the next time we hike, he gets to carry the baby....I think it is a good deal!
