recreation HIKE Aso Kuji National Park on Kyushu Island Hiking in Aso Kuji National Park 10 - 13 November $800 • Single | $1580 • Double Join Outdoor Recreation as we head up to Kyushu Island to hike through the beautiful Kuju Mountain Range in the Aso-Kuju National Park. If you’ve found yourself missing the warm colors of the fall, you’re in luck. Late October and mid-November in Kyushu provides one of the best places to see these colors bloom. This four-day tour takes you around the Kumamoto and Aso areas, through the Kuju Mountain Range, into the Takachiho Gorge in Miyazaki and to Sakurajima. The Kuju mountain range includes the highest peak on the island and is made of mountains that are covered in networks of hiking trails that offer spectacular views of the volcanic terrain. Before heading home, we’ll take you to Miyazaki where you will see the Takachiho Gorge. This spectacular site is made of steep walls created by columnar jointing due to the rapid cooling of an ancient lava fl ow that fi lled the narrow valley of the Gokase River after Mt. Aso’s eruption. This is a trip of a lifetime. Stop by Outdoor Recreation for a trip itinerary and to register. Outdoor Recreation • 966-7343 | Building 614 24 WWW.KADENAFSS.COM
