"24th June’23: - Finally yesterday I hiked the Mt. Hallasan(1947m) which is the highest peak of South Korea. - Ascended from Seongponak trail & descended from Gwaneumsa trail. - The views were amazing while descending from Gwaneumsa trail. - It was a cloudy day until the afternoon. After reaching the top the clouds were cleared so, I was able to watch some beautiful views. The weather is really unpredictable here. - With Hallasan, I competed hiking the top 3 peaks of South Korea before leaving this country😊✌️." — saiganesh • Jun 23, 2023

"Solo attempt on the highest peak in South Korea, but happen to be hiking with at least 500 or more Koreans. Lots of snow i had to use crampons which i was able to buy at the trail head. Very beautiful and cold. Was able to complete the whole hike in five hours. Many Koreans would stop and smile at me on the trail almost like they where amazed to see a round eye white guy on the trail. Even know i don't know any Korean some guys offered me some jerky when i stopped to rest. Korean hiking was very different there where many places on the trail to stop and sit. Also close to the top there was a place where you could buy hot soup, and they had bathrooms on the trail, twice." — elbesto • Dec 21, 2011

"I took a detour to check out the Sara Oreum Observatory and Crater Lake. Very beautiful trail and was able to walk across the frozen lake. Great view from the summit Observatory." — elbesto • Dec 21, 2011
