[Jeju Island] Climbing the Hallasan Gwaneumsa Course

🏔 Reach the summit of Hallasan Mountain via the Gwaneumsa Trail!

📍 Jeju, Korea

Hallasan Mountain offers two trails to the summit (Baengnokdam Lake), the Seongpanak Trail and the Gwaneumsa Trail.

We ascended via the Gwaneumsa Trail and descended via the Seongpanak Trail.

Many people say the Gwaneumsa Trail is more challenging,
but the scenery is overwhelmingly stunning, making it the most popular trail.
