Balwangsan Mountain(1,458m)

 Balwangsan Mountain(1,458m)

Balwangsan Mountain is located in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, and stands at 1,458 meters. We took a bus to Yongpyong Resort and started the hike. The hike took more than five hours, including a relatively long lunch break at the peak.

It was early February, and the trail was covered with a lot of snow, giving us a fantastic white scenery. We took a gondola at the peak for the descent."
