Views up and around Gwongeumseong. A beautiful hike.
TravelerThe snowy peaks were incredible! I couldn't believe how close to the edge they let people wander... and kids were running around throwing snowballs at each other up there, people were getting close to the edge for photos... I hope no one slips off! I didn't hike up the mountain, I took a cable car--which gave me some nice views of the trails down below! (Those trails I *did* hike on).
