We started the hike at Samga Vistor Center (bottom right). It was a great day!
Birobong Peak 3.4km back up the way we came.
A nice pine forest with a rough 4X4 road as our trail.
Don't know when they built this trail, but the chunks of stone they used must have been hell to work with. This was a couple km from where vehicles could access the trail.
A couple Yew Trees. They ranged in age between 200-500 years old, according to our guide book. This small patch of trees is the largest grove of Yew Trees in Korea.

Gnarly old trees, ehh?
Don't know what kind of tree this is, but it had an interesting shape.
A leg of the trail to Birobang peak--on our way down.
Grassy meadows and some pretty steep sloping terrain.
A group shot on the peak.
Sarah is all smiles while looking around at the views.
A news helicopter pass by, as a couple of Koreans wave hello.

A trail leading off to Gungmangbong (Peak).

Approaching the peak. The legs were shot, so I took a ton of shots on this final stretch of trail.
Approaching the peak. The entire hike up was well forested. So we really couldn't see much of the surrounding mountains until we arrived at this point.
