The highlight of our trip
We had a fantastic time! Sophia was a great guide. She picked us up at our hotel, provided us with an assortment of snacks, and told us all about the hike and information about Korea. The hike was beautiful and challenging at times. It was very steep at the top but worth the effort. Sophia was a pro the entire way. She was an absolute gem, took a bunch of photos of us during the hike, and really added to our trip. It is definitely a must do experience.
