What happens if you take a wrong turn?

If you get off at the wrong trailhead, you will have to take public transportation and go all the way around the base of the mountain to get back to the original trailhead, which will cost you a lot of money and time. It is very important not to make this mistake.

Traveling between Trailheads

To avoid getting lost

Meet at a branch

If even one of you takes a wrong turn when climbing in a group, you will be in big trouble. In particular, there are many people who are tired and sleepy and walk absent-mindedly at branch points on the trail heading down the mountain, and there are many cases where they pass by without noticing the branch point. Especially at the easy-to-make-mistake junctions mentioned above, we highly recommend meeting up and making sure everyone heads to the correct trail.
