Jirisan National Park is celebrated in light of the fact that it's the biggest bumpy national stop in Korea. It's tremendous. Moreover, it has a few of the most astounding crests in 'terrain' South Korea, yet the most elevated is claimed by Hallasan National Park on Jeju Island where Elicia and I visited in June amid a four-day end of the week. The manner in which Koreans and expats discuss Jirisan Park, I got the sense it was the "grandaddy of all", which means, it was for some entirely genuine climbers and it'd be stuffed with delightful landscape. This time, we were blessed to have a five-day end of the week on the grounds that Chuseok, or Korean's equal to Thanksgiving, was from September 18-22. We exploited the time far from school, the excellent climate, and our longing to climb the second tallest top in all of Korea, Cheongwangbong Peak, which is situated in Jirisan. We'd toss our tent, resting sacks, outdoors nourishment and climbing sustenance, a lot of water, and climbing gear into our auto and take an excellent two hour drive from Yeosu to Jirisan National Park, situating ourselves at the trailhead that would take us to the best.

The recreation center HQ at this area (Junsangri) was entirely flawless. This is were we paid for outdoors and discovered some trail maps, alongside data about the recreation center's history and rich biodiversity.

Climbing Highlights: Just like the various trails here in Korea, there's not very numerous level spots. This trail was no exemption to the standard. We scaled substantial stones, climbed numerous means, and winded our way up and up the mountain side. Quite a bit of it was secured by trees, if great shade from the generally extreme sunglight (and direct warmth). We had ham sammies stuffed alongside a lot of foods grown from the ground to prop us up.

We continued, and found these purposes of enthusiasm en route towards the pinnacle. It shocked me to see a few leaves changing hues as of now! Time has truly flown by. It's difficult to trust it was the center of Septmber as of now!

Other Hiking Highlights: Elicia was up for expanding our climb a smidgen (in spite of her not feeling the best) to evade an out-and-back climb on a similar trail. I cherish seeing however many diverse trails as could reasonably be expected, so we hurried over to the Jangteomok Shelter initial (1.7Km) rather than going straight withdraw. BEST DECISION EVER! The route to the asylum was downhill a bit, and along an edge, which provded incredible view.
