馬見山（福岡県）

英彦山巡礼路2024デジタルバッジ獲得期限が残り1週間となり嘉穂アルプスへ いつもは秋月側から登りますが今日は馬見登山口から馬見山→屏山→古処山で折り返し宇土浦越から下山　かなり散っていたけれど紅葉を楽しめました

I started hiking at the bus stop in Akizuki and headed across the Kaho Alps to Umamiyama. The colors of the foliage were wonderful and many places were lit up with a golden light. I made a loop by heading down the old path towards the Egawa dam. The trail is interesting because you can see the incredible damage from the powerful heavy rains of 2017. Some of the road is completely blown out, so it takes extra time to navigate across the river and debris fields. I can’t really recommend the road back towards Akizuki as it’s a long way back. If you’re like me, you’ll be racing against the dark. Luckily, there is a sidewalk for the last half of the road journey. Once I got on the sidewalk I could relax and enjoy the walk. I got back to Akizuki in the dark and everything was closing up. The bus was still running and I hopped on it to start the trip back to Fukuoka. My feet are burning, but it was totally worth it.

久々の嘉麻市馬見山 馬見山登山口へ行く途中 川には朝もや、田畑は霜 もう冬ですね 大好きな秋はどこかいな 最近腰が微妙な感じで ちゃんと歩けるかと不安もありましたが、痛みも違和感もなくホッとしました 遙拝所(頂上付近の御神所岩の地にが馬見神社上宮跡に向けて)から上り、風穴、羅漢岩、御神所岩を経由し頂上へ 下りは筑前矛城跡経由宇土浦越から降りました 思ったほど寒くもなく快適に歩きました
