Autumn walk at Saryeoni Park (29. Oct)

Hi there. Many apologies for not posting this earlier. I've been having a problem in that I posted my pictures first, but now that I'm going to add the captions, I don't see the pictures at all. I clicked "Preview" and the pictures are there, but I need to add in the captions blindly. Good thing I can click "Preview" and it pops up on another tab, that way I can "see" how my post is coming.

Anyway, 2 of my students and I went out for a walk at Saryeoni Park. This park is popular and HUGE! This was also an excellent time to see the Autumn foliage. For those who are more laid back hikers or want a more relaxing stroll, this is the place for you. Let's go to the pics.




Whoa, just to get an idea of what you'll be seeing.



A sign at one of the entrances (there are about 3 or so).




This has some details about the forest.




This must be the steepest climb in the entire forest.




Look at these colors!




I don't remember ever seeing a red leaf this bright before.

You know what, let me be quiet so you can enjoy these pictures fully, with your own interpretation.






























This is a map of the trails/forest. Each number is a kilometer. We only made it 5 km in. For the rest of day, I could feel that I truly walked 10 km!






Here's a sign and information about an "orum" or hill you can hike up. For some reason, although, it was closed and will stay closed until New Years. Oh well, they know what they're doing.



A sign of the same hill that's not going away anytime soon.



The end.
Wasn't it lovely? Now I understand why they say this is a "healing forest," you can't help but feel better when you see all this nature.
