May 6,
2006. This outing was just plain aweful.
It rained this whole day and the next day. We just didn't
want to stay in our Minbak so, we chose to go out, get
cold and soaking wet for W3500 at Seoraksan National Park
to visit Sinheungsa Temple.
November
12-13, 2006. This time may not
be as warm as summer but it sure beats the hell out of
rain. Our first day was fairly nice. We had full sun the
entire day.
From the distance, the mountain was starting to get ready
for a winter look. Only the colours on the lower elevation
were still impressive.
(1) This is Biseondae
Rock, about 45mins from Sinheungsa Temple. Tourist here
have a chance to climb the rock. We bypassed this and
we took the left fork to (3) Yang Falls.
My camera started acting funny at this point so i missed
a lot of photo opportunity here. This trail is very scenic
and I was more than pissed that I couldn't take the shots.
(1)
These are Daechongbong (left) and Jungcheongbong Peaks. Jungcheong
Shelter is on the col. At this point, snow and ice patches
are already all over the place.
(2) This view (and more) is what my camera missed along the
trail.
The trail is about 10kms from Sinheungsa Temple to Jungcheong
Shelter. We made it in the shelter in 6:15hrs including
lunch and stops.
