Pine Tree, Mountain River Valley, Woraksan

Wandering in Woraksan

Woraksan National Park protects more than 100 square miles of wilderness in central South Korea, centered on the park's namesake mountain. Pines and oaks add greenery to the stony landscape, including many small, knotty Korean red pines rooted among the rocks. While the hikes here reach high elevations, most aren't considered especially difficult, so photographers flock here during all seasons to capture soaring trailside views like this.
