Hiking Jeju's Mt. Halla

Hallasan, Jeju Island, South Korea

As we set out on the 8.8 km hike up Mt. Halla, I was pretty sure we wouldn't make it to the top. The illustrated maps of the trail, however, seemed to make it more doable. So, up and up and up we went. All the way to the very top,with lots of fantastic views along the way. 

And then came the REALLY tough part: coming down again. Oh, my knees! I am super glad we did this wonderful walk/hike, but I could barely walk for the next 4 days...
