Bukhansan Baegundae Trail - Baegundae Traditional Geocache

This cache is part of a series of caches that will take you to the main peak of Bukhan Mountain.  This trail is very steep in some areas and would be considered a strenuous hike.  There are also portions of the trail that follow close to steep cliffs and dropoffs.  This hike is not recommended for children or the infirm.

Bukhansan, or Bukhan Mountain, is a mountain on the northern periphery of Seoul, South Korea. There are three major peaks, Baegundae 836.5 meters (2,744 ft), Insubong 810.5 meters (2,659 ft), Mangyeongdae 787.0 meters (2,582.0 ft). Because of its height and the fact that it borders a considerable portion of the city, Bukhansan is a major landmark visible from most city districts. The name "Bukhansan" means "mountain north of Han River", referring to the fact that it is the northern border of the city. During the Joseon era, the peaks marked the extreme northern boundary of Seoul. (Wikipedia)
