Autumn Excursion

주왕산, Mt. Juwang, Juwangsan National Park is located in the mid-eastern region of the peninsula. From Daegu, it took longer time than expected due to heavy traffic. Nearly all of the trails near the main entrance of the park were crowded with many tourists and hikers who enjoyed the picturesque natural beauty of the mountain decorated in autumn colors. Maple leaves have turned yellow and red and some trees were dropping their leaves already.

We stopped at a rest stop on the pass of mountains to the south of Juwangsan, and had a snack. Popular Korean snack, fish paste cakes threaded on bamboo skewers are boiled in the kettle. Green onion and pumpkin are put in the middle and eggs just outside of the kettle.
