Hiking in the Mountains

Our city of Anyang is surrounded by low mountains, many of which are available for climbing. The trailhead to one such mountain, Gwanak (Gwanaksan--san=mountain), is a short bike ride from our house. Enjoy!

The farming concept is very different here. The side of this mountain is covered in farms and greenhouses that grow chiles, cabbage, carrots, vining plants like pumpkin, zucchini, etc. You often see older women squatted in the rows harvesting food, and it's later seen in the nearby open market.




Here is a garden that's been cultivated at the beginning of our climb. It's really beautiful.


A view of Anyang. The two towers you see are very near our apartment. In fact, our apartment is technically visible from here.



Straight ahead in this photo is the peak we summited. We ended up a bit to the left of the big peak.
