I completed the full 3-day, 2-night Jirisan hiking course. We started by hiking up to Nogodan Peak. The photo belows show the entrance to the course. It is 25.5 km to Cheonwangbong, the highest peak of Jirisan.

This was definitely a hike that tested our endurance as we had to carry our food and water with us and were outfitted for the winter. We stayed at two different shelters along the way.

Here’s a picture showing us almost to the peak - just 7 km left!

On the third day, we woke up early and made a push to the peak where we saw the sun rise and enjoyed the beautiful oudoors.

This last picture shows our way back down from the peak. We were above the clouds.
