Winter in Korea | Snowy Hike at Hallasan

December 2022 - January 2023:
Second trip to South Korea! The first time visiting was in Summer 2017 so it was nice to experience a drastically different season. Clearly I’m quite behind with uploading this footage, because it’s almost winter again 😅. Itching to travel again after rewatching the clips I collected while editing. Soon, hopefully!
--
- We landed at ICN at night, and hopped straight on a connecting flight to Jeju-do
- Reunited w/ our friends & readied ourselves for an early hike the next morning
- Prepping our gear (trekking poles, waterproof boots, crampons)
- Off to the snow! Hallasan is only a ~20 min drive from downtown Jeju 🥹
- I forgot how long the hike was round trip (7 mi? 🤔)
- The initial ascent hits real hard LOL, trekking poles are a must
- Beautiful, snow-covered scenery the whole way ❄️
- Descent is not exactly a cake walk either lollll
- Piping hot stew w/ a cold beer just hits different in Korea 🤌
- 10000/10 would do again
