The section along the ridge between Yongmasan and Gwangnaru Station commands a particularly nice view. In Mangu Cemetery, there are tombs of celebrities like Han Yong-un and Bang Jeong-hwan. The trail is also host to Achasan Fortress, dating back to the Goguryeo Dynasty (circa 37 BC – 668 AD)."

Cable Line Trail (WA)

This almost straight up vertical climb tears your strength and endurance for sure .  The route is extremely rooty and rocky.  In the winter it is also very wet in places with possible ice and snow .  A lot of places it is too steep to run and power hiking takes precedence; there are a few flatter sections that are runnable.  One of my favorite shorter vertical climbs for sure .

Description

This trail is officially listed as a long trek through the Thompson Plateau from Vernon to Mission Creek in Kelowna. Travelling through numerous dense forest-ways, the trail has two open sections that offer stunning views of the valley: The Oyama Repeater and the Grand View. However, if hikers deviate slightly in Wrinkly Face Provincial Park, there is a chance for a view mid-way between these two.
