Discover South Korea's Natural Wonders One Trail at a Time: A Look at Erik Palin's Hiking South Korea
If you've ever dreamed of exploring the diverse landscapes of South Korea—from its tranquil coastal paths to its dramatic mountain ridges— Hiking South Korea: 88 Day Hikes from Sandy Beaches to Rocky Peaks by Erik Palin is your ultimate guide. This meticulously crafted book is much more than a collection of trail notes. It's an immersive, on-the-ground resource designed for anyone looking to experience the country's natural beauty, whether you're a seasoned hiker, a casual adventurer, or a traveler seeking a deeper connection with Korea's landscapes. What sets this guide apart is the sheer breadth and usability of the information it offers. Palin documents 88 distinct day hikes across South Korea, with routes that cater to a wide range of skill levels and interests. Whether you're craving a quiet walk along a forested trail or a full-day summit adventure with panoramic views, there's something here for you. Each hike includes detailed trail descriptions, difficulty ratings, distance and elevation gain, estimated hiking time, and tips on what to expect. The guide also features route markings, trailhead logistics, transportation options, and practical insights—making it exceptionally easy to plan your own hiking itinerary, even if you're new to Korea or hiking abroad for the first time. But this book isn't just about logistics; it's also rich with cultural and environmental context. Throughout the guide, Palin weaves in points of historical interest, natural highlights, and unique cultural tidbits that bring each trail to life. From ancient Buddhist temples nestled deep in the mountains to seaside cliffs dotted with wind-worn pines, each hike tells a story of South Korea's land and people. Some standout hikes include the dramatic ridgeline of Seoraksan National Park, the temple-studded paths of Bukhansan just outside Seoul, and the peaceful island trails of Geoje, where cliffs drop into turquoise waters and hikers are rewarded with views of passing ships and hidden beaches. Palin also guides readers through lesser-known gems like Jirisan's Banyabong Peak and the wildflower-strewn slopes of Hallasan on Jeju Island. This beautifully crafted hiking guide provides everything you need for your outdoor adventures in Korea. Each hike itinerary includes an illustrative map, GPS coordinates, hike duration, distance, elevation, terrain, difficulty level, accessibility notes, and descriptions of special features. The book also includes expert advice on safety, climate, packing tips, and a glossary of useful Korean phrases—making it an indispensable companion for every level of hiker. Author Erik Palin brings a personal touch to every page. A native of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Erik hadn't even seen a hill until a Boy Scout trip to Vermont at age 14. He didn't begin hiking until his deployment to Korea, but since then, he has spent over eight years exploring its trails and over twenty years living in Asia. A veteran of the maritime and offshore oil and gas industries, he balances his time in shipyards with hikes alongside his wife, Jozefina, and their four daughters. His hiking experience extends beyond Korea, with favorite trails in Japan, Taiwan, Nepal, New Zealand, Slovakia, Tasmania, and California's Sierra Nevada. With stunning full-color photography, expertly crafted maps, and a deep appreciation for the natural and cultural heritage of Korea, Hiking South Korea is as practical as it is inspiring. More than just a guide, this book is a testament to the transformative power of the outdoors. From Erik's first hilltop experience in Vermont to his countless adventures across the Korean peninsula, Hiking South Korea reflects a lifelong journey of discovery, family, and connection with nature. It's ideal for expats, travelers, nature lovers, and anyone eager to find peace and adventure on foot. Explore the trails and discover the soul of South Korea—one hike at a time.
