An amazing hike last week when S. was off for Chuseok (Korean harvest festival where everyone visits family, roads are clogged, stores are mostly closed, and foods are made in the memory of ancestors). This is the view from one of the summits. Unfortunately, it was kind of a hazy day out, but you can get a sense of how far up we were.
Isn't that a great lookout? That's where we stopped for lunch.
It was that steep and more the entire way up. O. is becoming quite the hiker!
In case walking up and down a mountain isn't exercise enough, there are workout areas along the trail. This one features free weights. Another featured situp benches and hula hoops. Koreans take their exercise seriously.
Last time I was here with O. there was a woman selling the chestnuts that fell in this forest. Almost every person that I see here has a bag and is collecting either chestnuts or acorns as they walk along. This would explain why I couldn't find any chestnuts - we have to buy ours on the street!
