Choshigataki Falls with autumn leaves at Koriyama, Oct. 26, 2016 （紅葉に映える銚子ヶ滝（郡山）です２０１６年１０月２６日）

Today, I walked along Choshigataki Trail which is one of seven mountain trails heading to the summit of Mount Adatara. It started from an entrance at Ishimushiro village of Koriyama City and it took 2.7km walk to get to Choshigataki Falls. Photo above shows 48m waterfall surrounded by autumn colors today. The trail to the waterfall is mostly moderate, but in the final stage a steep descent of 130m with makeshift ladders and chains welcomed me. But if you carefully and slowly move, the trail is kind of secure.
本日、安達太良山の７つの登山道の１つ、銚子ヶ滝登山口から歩きました。登山口は、郡山市の石筵（いしむしろ）地区にあり、銚子ヶ滝まで２．７ｋｍでした。写真は、紅葉に映える、高さ４８ｍの銚子ヶ滝です。道は、殆どなだらかでしたが、最後は１３０ｍの急降下があり、仮設の足場やくさりを使って降ります。（ゆっくり注意して動けば、安全です。）

Photo above shows the first trail entrance which is located along Bonari Green Line Road which is a prefectural road. I entered and started from here. As I started to walk, there appeared a paved road of less than 1 km long, and at the terminal there was the second trail entrance, where mountain trail started again.
写真が、母成グリーンライン（県道）沿いにある、最初の銚子ヶ滝登山口です。ここから山道を進むと、すぐに舗装道路が１ｋｍ弱続き、２番目の登山口が現れ、ここからまた山道になります。

I pedaled my bicycle to the trail entrance from my home. Along Bonari Green Line Road, which had a large scale cattle farm alongside, I found a rare cattle warning traffic sign as shown above.
登山口までは、自転車で行きましたが、母成グリーンライン沿いに、珍しい牛の絵の交通標識（写真）が現れます。近くに、大きな牧場があるためです。
