Visions of Korea: Seoraksan Mountain Hike 설악산 (Part 1)

We took a group tour with Adventure Korea to the top the Seorak Mountain. The hike took about 2 hours to the top. As you'll see in the video the hike is breathtaking both visually and physically. Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range (태백산맥) in the Gangwon province in eastern South Korea. It is located in a national park near the city of Sokcho. After the Hallasan volcano on Jeju Island and Jirisan in the south, Seoraksan is the third highest mountain in South Korea. The Daechongbong Peak (대청봉) of Seoraksan reaches 1,708 metres (5,603 feet). The Taebaek mountain chain is often considered the backbone of the Korean peninsula. -Wiki
