Bukhansan Trail Course 13 ~ 14 - Seoul, Korea

October 23, 2017 from 11:00 to 15:00 hours, Total distance is 7.6 km (Songchoo Village Road 5.3 km  and Sanuemi Road 2.3 km) and taking about 4 hours. As usually use public transportation method,  I took off at Course 13 starting point, Sukgulam and Wooeiryung bus stop and walked along side at  main road No. 21 where I found some trees at sidewalk are likely color changing their leaves soon and  extending to quite forest pass at the hill taking fresh air and atmosphere, I naturally realized the reason  why many people like to trail or picnic to this Songchoo valley, beautiful and neat and tidy and refresh  feeling. I passed this Songchoo Valley and reached Bukhansan Support Center near to Songchoo Village  where I found clean and well organized parking loot with nice colorful tree around the Parking Lot. I  believe this Parking lot should be convenient and useful for their mountain climbing or trailing of  Bukhansan mountain. When I further walked the course 3 following the root  and met Kalbawi in front  of my head as well as Course 14 "Sanuemi Road" start while I keep heading to Wongoksa Temple.  I felt Wongaksa is small and not well known temple to people and Buddhist. But mood at the temple  is not much contaminated due to too many visitors and may keeping nature of old and traditional ambiance.  However it looks so good and impressive and seems almost not running temple. I took a lunch near to  Course 14 Start gate and start to walked highest Course at complete 21 Courses climbing up to sixth ridge  of Sapae Mountain and somewhat steep slope. But I blew out some stress accumulating during ordinary life  when I walked through unpolluted thick forest during the Course. I looked down view of Uijeongbu city  at View and Photo Point and took a nice picture.       Course 13 as "Songchoo Valley" Start Neat and Beautiful Pass Bukhansan Support Center Wongaksa Heading Road and Kalbawi Course 14 as "Sanuemi Road" Start Wongaksa Temple Color Changing Leaves Rest and Road Changing Point View of Uijeongbu City  End Bridge of Course 14
