Korealist 2009: 2

2: Climb Mt. Bukhan

7 June, 2009

Did the hike, took the pictures.

D, Elli & I left bright and early (no joke!) for Bukhansan. After getting conned by a parking lot operator (we paid 5,000 on a side lot instead of free in the park lot), we started the trek up. It wasn't bad, and the view was nice from the top. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy to see much, but we did glimpse the north part of Seoul to the south and Uijeongbu to the northeast.

We had a nice jog down, using a different, less accessed and more scenic route.

On Bukhansan there are the newly-renovated remains of Bukhansanseong (North Mountain Fortress); we deemed it proper to head to Namhansanseong (South Mountain Fortress), where we grilled burgers for dinner. Yum!
