Before the hike
A group of teachers from our school went away this past weekend on an overnight hiking trip. We left Friday evening and drove about 4 hours east to Seoraksan, the 3rd highest mountain in South Korea according to Wikipedia.
We slept in a hotel Friday night, rose early the next morning for breakfast and then started on our trek! Although it seems that Fall is passing us by quickly, the colors were still quite vivid!
We hiked several hours up towards a unique rock formation called Ulsanbawi.
After quite a hike to the base of these rocks, Jen was ready to consider the trip successful. Above us rose metal staircases that seemed to disappear into the rocks.
Deciding she had come too far to turn back, she hiked up the steps (we've heard there are 800 total) and we happily made it to the top!
After descending all those steps and the mountain trail, we took a much easier trek to the cable car which took us to a different peak where we could enjoy the view and a bit more exploring.
We had a great time with co workers and enjoying God's creation! What a way to spend the weekend!
