I went on my first hike last week. We did Guksabong, which is 464 meters at the top (I believe). Here is a picture. Guksabong is the highest of the peaks, towards the middle of the picture.
During my first hike up, it was hot and humid. I did Guksabong with another group yesterday (Saturday) and it was cool outside and drizzling on us the whole time. But better cool & wet, than hot! Here's a shot or two from the hike yesterday. Very prettty trails. my calf muscles are the most sore of anything. It's just over 1 hour to the top of the mountain. Yesterday, we left from a different point than last week and the beginning was brutal! The incline was killer. I found out that this is the short & steeper route. Last week, we did the longer and less steep route. The trails meet up at one point (an exercise area, complete with 4 to 5-inch thick hula hoops), then it's one trail to the top. Unfortunately, both times I've done this mountain, the view was very poor at the top due to haze or clouds and rain. So, I will have to do it on a clear day to get some good pictures. Here are some pictures from the trail yesterday, during the rain. This is my friend, the toad. He posed for the picture.
The trails.
