Hike Three

Our most recent hike was last Saturday. It rained very heavily the night before and it was cold and clear the following day. We went over by Dobong San (도봉산) and hiked up one of the ridges. The beginning of the hike was kind of up and down, and the trees were pretty green still.


After hiking up the ridge a ways, we came across countless graves. These graves are maintained by the families of those who died that are buried up here. Most of these graves are pretty old. They are very distinct due to the mound that rests on top of the coffin. The picture below could quite be the best photograph I've ever taken...


A bit of a view...


Here's Jenna. Doesn't she look happy?


Here's me, equally as happy to be up here.


Here's a view of the northernmost tip of Seoul

This is Bukhan San off in the distance...one of the largest mountains in the area. The first hike we did was up one of the ridges about half way up the main mountain.

Now this mountain is Dobong San. We tried climbing to the top of it on our first hike in Korea...the one where we were pressed upon by the masses... No crowds on this side of the mountain that day.

Pretty, pretty, pretty...


The fall colors are starting to get more brilliant. Fall is the best season in Korea.
