The long Colombus Day weekend we spent exploring Korea's most beautiful national park. Seoraksan is on the east coast of Korea - about a 4 hour bus ride from where we live. The fall leaves were beginning to change and the scenery was truly breathtaking.
Our pictures don't do it justice!
Naksan Temple just outside the park
Sting ray jerky, anyone?
Making friends while we waited for our fellow tourists
So many beautiful hikes in the park!
Piryong waterfall
On our way to Kumkang Cave
Korean hikers are almost always decked out in high-tech gear. I thought this lady was especially amusing.
The destination: the cave is at the top of the picture. Ivy with read leaves is growing out of it, so it looks red.
Don't look down!
Almost there...
It was super tiny! I'm standing at the back of the cave, looking out. Behind me is a little carve-out for Buddhists to pray. And of course, a lady selling trinkets. What a commute to work she has!!
Back down
Our trusty tour guide, Mr. Pak. He told us to be sure to remember his face. If we called 'Mr. Pak!' half of the Korean men would turn around. So, remember my face!
Little nap on the way down...even adventure babies need naps!
Chillin' at the Waterpia water park after a long and grueling hike. :)
Beautiful fall colors
At the top!
Back down again
I just thought this was so pretty.
