Mountains with a guide
Thirty mountains, from short Seoul ridges to the big national parks. Every mountain page follows the same shape: why the peak is worth a day, a stats table, how to reach the trailhead on public transport, the individual trails with distance and walking time, seasons, food nearby, safety and cultural background. There is also a map of all thirty peaks and a phrasebook of 100 Korean trail phrases with romanization; the phrase meanings are currently in English only.
