Autumn Sunrise Hike in Bukhansan National Park!
Details
Dear CIKers,
Now that the cooler autumn weather is here, let's enjoy the sunrise and colorful leaves of Bukhansan National Park together! At the 836.5-meter-tall summit of Baegundae Peak, you will be treated to a 360-degree panoramic view of Seoul and amazing sunrise views of the colored autumn leaves.
CIK is collaborating with Blackyak and STO for this hike to show our international friends the beauty of Baegundae Peak at sunrise; to explore the Seoul Hiking Tourism Center(Bukhansan); and to enjoy autumn views while hiking (NOTE: This event is for international friends due to cabin reservations).
[Hike Route]
Baegundae Information Center- Haroojae Pass - Baegunbongammun Gate- Baegundae Peak - Baegunbongammun Gate - Yongammun Gate-Doseonsa Temple- Seoul Hiking Tourism Center(6.8km/5hrs)
This hike will take roughly 5 hours, depending on the speed and ability level of our group. The trail is classified as difficult and will cover some steep and rocky terrain, and there are sections involving stairs and metal handrails. So, you must be careful and know your hiking ability and endurance level. For this hike, CIKers must wear footwear appropriate for hiking, such as shoes or boots that can grip rocks and prevent you from slipping/falling, since the trails have some steep rocky areas. It should be a fantastic, exhilarating, and challenging hike, so if you are ready, do not miss this great opportunity!
**For those who want to sleep in a cabin near the meetup point the night before our hike (since we will start hiking very early in the morning), you can stay in the FREE BAC center's cabin(Males-16 ppl & Females-14 ppl; Limited/Cabin per night-15,000won value).
