Jiri Mountain Weather★ 100 Famous Peak

The highlight of the Jiri Mountain hike is definitely the Jureung trail. This is because walking the hundred miles from Nogodan to Cheonwangbong Peak is the shortcut to getting to know Jiri Mountain in a short period of time. It is a long course that requires at least two nights, but there are shelters at Nogodan, Baemsagol, Yeonhacheon, Byeoksoryeong, Seseok, and Jangteomok, so there is no problem. However, you must make a reservation to use it, so sit down in front of your phone or computer at least 15 days before your hike. It's a long distance, so you need to be prepared, but you don't have to worry too much. The ridge is generally gentle, so anyone of any age can complete it. As the days go by, the history increases, and the ever-changing scenery adds strength. Since each shelter has a spring, the drinking water problem is easily solved. The only way to eat is to cook. For this reason, if you have a lot of luggage, you can rent bedding instead of taking it with you. There is also a way to share the load when traveling with several people.
