I have been told by many that the top of Naeba was an amazing experience. When I saw that on my next day off the skies were clear I jumped at the chance to reach the summit of this magical mountain. Blue skies allowed for some breathtaking photos, and the start of the fall colors just added to the beauty. We approached from the west via the Naeba ski resort (only recommended if you have your own vehicle).
