These two guys were pretty cool. At Shineunsa temple gate.
Daecheongbong ascent, Seoraksan NP
Such spectacular scenery on this walk, only it was very hard to capture the scale of these towering cliffs in a photo.

Daecheongbong ascent, Seoraksan NP
Taken from the summit: I thought this would be the money shot, but I was wrong about that. There was more spectacular scenery to come down in amongst those rocky slopes.
Gwaneumsa Track, Hallasan, Jeju-do
The crater lake on the summit at 1950m of elevation. I've seen pictures where this was a lot fuller.

Sanbangsan (a big lump of lava with 395m of elevation), and the Sanbangsa temple below.
