Gwanak-san (Gwacheon) - Oct 28

This week's adventure: a trip down to Gwacheon to hike the Gwanak-san mountain. It was a great way to leave the city behind. John and I headed down kind of late, but we still got in about 4 hours of hiking.

It was a steep climb, and it started raining on and off the entire time we climbed, but it was worth it. The air actually smelled like Autumn and we were surrounded by trees. Except for the shorter days and colder nights, Autumn could come and go and Seoul and you would barely be able to tell.

Gwacheon is way out in another province from Seoul, but the transit is amazing here so you can go two hours out of the city and do it by subway.

We were rushing at the end to get down off the mountain before the sun went down, but all was well in the end and we ate some pajeong to celebrate our feat.
