Hiking Mount Namsan in Gyeongju

Amber and I went on a big hike through Mount Namsan in Gyeongju. This was probably my favorite part of the trip. It was so beautiful. We met some intersting people along the way.


These are the Baeri Samneung Tombs. In them are buried the 54th and 53rd and 8th kings of the Silla emprire.


This was the fun forest at the start of the hike.


The trees had beautiful bark.



We hiked up to this hermitage. We went into the temple and made lots of friends as the only foriegners who went inside. We did the prostrations and everyone was very impressed.




There were some natural springs to drink from.


There were lots of rock piles along the way.


This was a sitting Buddha we passed.


This Buddha lost it's head somewhere along the way...


Some Buddha carvings.


This is a standing Buddha.




I loved this Buddha carving. The platform was beautiful.


This was Amber with some of the rocks we past on the hike down.


I found a nice little stone chair.


The hike down was just as beautiful as the hike up. We went down through a different valley.


When we got to the bottom, there were some huge pagodas.



Post hike we got some popsicles and water.
