Hiking Buhkansan







This was the most challenging hike I've ever been on in my mere 47 years. The hiking club forewarned us to be sure to wear real hiking boots, and bring a charged cell phone and contact numbers. They also strongly suggested that anyone afraid of heights not come along. So, I knew it would be more than a leisurely stroll.




Even so, I wasn't prepared for rock climbing. Or for a 6-hour hike. Granted, we stopped to rest and eat, but even so....




I can't remember the last time I was so exhausted. Actually, I just remembered. It was after completing the NY marathon. But that was 15 years and quite a few pounds ago.




Anyway, here are a few of the photos from Buhkansan. Once again, I was amazed that we were actually within the Seoul city limits.
