 Birobong Peak 1563m/5128'

May 3, 2006. Prayers were being held at Jeongmyeolbogung Temple. The voices of the monks accompanied my hike when I left, with incantation echoing through the valleys. It was an awesome experience.

It took me 2:30hrs from Dopingol Campground to the summit, including temple stops. It was a nice day but a little hazy from the distance. I was also lucky to have the summit to myself. On my descent, more and more... and more people were hiking to the top.
Down at the trailhead, I took a local bus back to Jinbu. Then, Jinbu to Gangneung, and Gangneung to Naksan to meet my wife.
