View attachment 15266 Tongariro Crossing in New Zealand.
2,000 of us walked this 20km stretch on Saturday!!!!
(please excuse the fuzzy pic, but it sure does show the steady stream of people!!)
I would say the same thing, especially the first few km out of Sarria around 7:30-8:00amThat looks like Sarria-SDC in a typical summer day...
I've heard the trek up Mount Fuji in Japan gets busy like that frequently. It's on my to do list. Anyone on here done the pilgrimage up Fuji?
Believe it or not, I hiked up Mt. Fuji in August 1978 and it looked pretty much like hikingmd_05's photos he just posted. We hiked part way up the first day, stayed at one of the huts for dinner and a quick sleep and continued at 2:00am to get to the top for the most amazing sunrise. Very crowded, but worth it for the short time it takes to do the trek.Wow, that's busy, but beautiful nonetheless.

Yeah, I have looked up a couple of You Tube videos people have posted of their experience hiking up Mt. Fuji recently. Very busy, crowded trail, but looks cool nonetheless.Believe it or not, I hiked up Mt. Fuji in August 1978 and it looked pretty much like hikingmd_05's photos he just posted.
