We've come out near Lake Kawaguchi to climb a nearby mountain peak at the height of fall.

我們在川口湖附近出來，在秋高氣爽的時候爬上附近的一座山峰。

Lake Kawaguchi is one of 5 main lakes around Mt Fuji, famous for its' fall colors and views.

We waited for the best weather, and we sure got it.

We were super excited to hike, but had no idea how awesome it really was going to be.

It's gonna be off this way. Oh, yeah.

它將會偏離這個方向。哦，是的。

In researching for this trip, we found an ideal parking lot on the other side of the mountain,

在為這次旅行進行研究時，我們在山的另一邊發現了一個理想的停車場。

and from there we would hike a 10k loop, up to the main ridge facing Mt Fuji,

從那裡，我們將徒步走10公里的環路，直到面對富士山的主山脊。

climbing to Kurodake, the tallest peak along the ridge,

攀登到山脊上最高的山峰--黑嶽。

and then swinging back around to a peak that promised 360 degree views of the whole area.

然後又搖身一變，來到一個承諾可以360度欣賞整個地區的山頂。

Look at that! Oh yes.

看看這個!哦，是的。

Oh dude, look at that helicopter. A helicopter up here. What?!

That would be a cool place to take off and then you go and see Mt Fuji on the other side of this mountain.

那將是一個很酷的地方，可以起飛，然後你去看看這座山的另一邊的富士山。

Here we are. We made it to the parking lot.

There it is.

就在那裡。

Alright, so we are parked at the top at that red place.

好吧，那麼我們就停在頂部那個紅色的地方。

And so the peak we can go right to the top and then we come back down the left side.

所以高峰期我們可以直接到頂，然後再從左邊回來。

And down that red trail. Right?

並沿著那條紅色的小路走下去。對嗎？

Yeah.

是的。

Well we've hit our trail head here and we're about to take off and it's chilly.

好了，我們已經到了這裡的小路頭，我們即將起飛，天氣很冷。

It's only a couple degrees out so, we're ready for this though.

現在只有幾度的氣溫，所以，我們已經準備好了。

I think we are at the middle peak. Yeah.

我想我們正處於中間的高峰期。是的。

Look at that path, it just beckons! It says "Common, let's go!"

看看那條路，它只是在向你招手！它說："普通人，我們走吧。它說："共同的，我們走吧！"

Well, we've started and is it ever just perfect, gorgeous.
