After our leisurely breakfast (which was to become a norm for this holiday), we left for the Mt. Seorak National Park. Also known as Seoraksan, it is the third highest mountain in South Korea. In November 1965, the Seorak Mountain district was designated as a Natural Monument preservation area; in December 1973 as a park preservation area; and in August 1982, as a Biosphere Preservation District by UNESCO.
Approaching Mt Seorak...
While the full autumn colors were not yet in bloom, it was already beautiful with the reds and yellows. Unfortunately, the streams were dry.
Now we know where tap water comes from, at least, in South Korea:
That's a cable car, passing ours.
Us, at the cable car station at the top.
See the spectacular rock formations, forestry, and Sokcho town in the background.
