So, when I saw that Adventure Korea, Korea's number one budget tour company for expats, had a trip lined up for early-November, I knew I had to sign up. Fortunately for me, this meant that I didn't have to worry about booking accommodations or worrying about transportation. They took care of everything from start to finish and when I boarded the bus in Seoul the morning of the trip, I was surprised at how well-organized and friendly the staff were.
By the time we reached the park, located just outside the sea-side town of Sokcho, we were ready to hit the hiking paths, but not before gorging on a bibimbap buffet of all sorts of grains, mountain vegetables, and sauces.
After lunch, we were given the opportunity to chose which hiking route to take. I had already once attempted the Ulsanbawi course, an arduous 4km trek that requires a climb up 800 steep metal stairs. Not wanting to be shown up by a bunch of elderly women in much better shape than I again, I joined the "lazy group" and followed our guide to Biryong Falls.
