Throughout
my life, some of my greatest experiences have taken place in the scenic
National Parks, especially Ulsan Bawi and Chimney Tops. Ulsan Bawi is located
in Seorak National Park (Seorak Mountains); this is one of the best mountains
in Korea. The other, Chiminey Tops, is located in the Great Smokey Mountains
National Park. I would like to take a moment to share these two places with
you.
The highest elevation of Ulsan Bawi is about 950m and Chimney Tops is about 1450m (4753 feet). There
are several similarities between Ulsan Bawi and Chimney Tops even though they
are located on separate continents, thousands of miles apart. First, to reach
the Ulsan Bawi and Chimney Tops you have to climb many rocks. Rock climbing is
the most difficult part of the hike, but it is worth it to be able to relax in
nature. Second, you can see as far as the East Sea of Korea, and all of the
Seorak Mountain range when you are on top. Similarly, you can see all of the
Smokey Mountains on Chimney Top.
Today is November 1st

Korean mountains are much more rugged than the Smokies. But, they are both beautiful.
