Climb to Mt. Dobong...

Just to the west of Uijeongbu Station is Bukhansan National Park and its spectacular granite peaks...


I'm surrounded by Himalayan-clad climbers... some with helmets, rope and ice axes!  Whew...


Up to the halfway point.... and a view of Seoul to the south...


The trail up top got a little steep and crowded...



But the view was incredible and made for a great lunch spot...


On the way back down, descending on stairs in some places...


We passed Gwangnyunsa Temple, mountain climbing vendors, and free Dr. You snack bars...





Here is the blog of a nice couple who climbed Dobongsan too.
