**Our Adventure this time:** We’ll begin by winding through the iconic Nara Deer Park, where we’ll meet the friendly deer that will be present throughout our hike. There we’ll also see shrines, temples, a very cool gazebo, and a variety of paths and gardens. After passing through the main park, we’ll ascend the [rolling hills of Mt. Wakakusa](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wakakusayama+Hill/@34.6906189,135.8540221,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOVA2T77u5uz_kpMX4-BWYXBVETEEDLZaluB3k!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOVA2T77u5uz_kpMX4-BWYXBVETEEDLZaluB3k%3Dw114-h86-k-no!7i4032!8i3024!4m15!1m7!3m6!1s0x60013996bd8c6061:0xf96cacf357447456!2sNara+Park!8m2!3d34.685047!4d135.843012!16s%2Fm%2F02pwmjl!3m6!1s0x600139bbcd63548d:0x1f687ca8591106f1!8m2!3d34.6906189!4d135.8540221!10e5!16s%2Fg%2F1tfjqm4v?entry=ttu), where from the summit, we can take in a beautiful view of Nara. This hike, spanning about 10 kilometers, has a climb of around 350 meters. We rate this hike as ★★☆☆☆ for difficulty. (There are a few tougher grades for a few hundred meters going up the hills.) Though the full autumn spectacle might still be unfolding, you can expect to witness the beginning shades of fall colors, a prelude to the full fall colors that will be the focus of next month’s hike.

We’ll answer questions here or on the other side of the link.
The weather forecast is looking great. We’ll give the final confirmation that it’s on a few around next Friday.
