Hello CIKers!

CIK, in collaboration with Black Yak, will hike the 13 fortresses of Bukhansanseong. We will get some awesome exercise, explore temples, see fortress gates, hike up many peaks, and observe nature's beauty during our hike on Bukhan mountain.

If we were to complete this 18km hike in one day, it would take us approximately 10 hours. Since this hike is long and difficult, we hiked the first half on June 3 and will do the second half on June 21.

[Bukhansan Challenge 360]
1. Complete the Hiking Challenge of 13 Gates of Bukhansanseong
2. 11 Temple Tour
3. 12 Peaks Challenge
4. Extreme Challenge

This hike will take roughly around 6 hours, depending on the speed and ability level of our group. The trail is classified moderately difficult and has a few fun challenges along the way. Some sections of the trail are rocky and steep and will involve stairs and handrails so make sure that you have appropriate hiking shoes!

CIK is not CIK without you! We hope you will join us for our challenge event of the year!
