Bugaksan - west route, up & down
Bugaksan (북악산) -- also known as Baegaksan (백악산) -- is the most significantly located peak in Korea, looming imposingly behind Gyeongbokgung, the foremost Joseon Dynasty palace, and Cheong Wa Dae, the office and residence of South Korea’s president. Though only 342 meters (1,122 feet) high, it is steep on all sides, with sections of sheer granite.
