John Goes to Soraksan National Park

After a long bus trip through the mountains of Northern South Korea we finally arrived at the spectacular Soraksan National Park.  The mountains were stunning.  We first visited Biryong Falls .  The hike consisted

of trekking through a valley until you reached a series of gushing waterfalls and eventually Biryong Falls.

After the falls we decided to take the cable car up to the top of  .  The ride up was crowded and we had to wait, but it was well worth it.  The view was pretty spectacular immediately exiting the cable car, but the higher you climbed, the more astonishing it became.  Upon finally arriving at the top, I could hardly believe my eyes.  It was the most fantastic landscape I had ever seen.  I couldn't possibly explain it in words, and the pictures do it absolutely no justice.  Look it up on google for more photos.
