Just as I promised you, we returned to the east coast of South Korea to play in the ocean and see Soraksan park again. The fall colors were even better than we thought since the weather was perfect. This, however, also had the impact of drawing half of Korea's population to the trails of the mountain. Packs of Korean hikers clad in ultra hiking gear (for well-kept, sometimes paved trails) swarmed the mountain and made it a bit difficult to feel like we were out in nature's wilderness and beauty. Their bright red, pink, yellow, green, and blue jackets, gloves, pants, boots, walking sticks, hats, backpacks, and similarly dressed children, allowed for no stopping, or any passing, on the trail. The first hike we went on wasn't so packed, so its memory hasn't been marred.
Here's a slideshow of our weekend. Call me lazy, but it's a LOT easier than posting them one by one. Enjoy!! Back to work today...
