Itinerary description

The trail head is just off of route 1 in Chisan-dong, Pyeongtaek-Si. There is a parking lot at the trailhead, but the parking is not free and only accepts credit cards. It is only about a 20-25 minute walk from the main gate of Osan air base. From the main gate go right and then left over the railroad tracks and follow that road to route 1. At route 1, take a right. Follow route 1 to the pedestrian bridge, cross, and you will see the parking area in about 100 feet on the left. Follow along the parking lot fence to the trail head.
The trail is well maintained and easy to follow. There are a lot of places the trail splits and comes back together so don't worry about all the intersections. The intersections that are not just splits in the trail are well marked. There is only one place to stop for water and a bathroom about 1.5 km into the hike.

Waypoints

Trailhead parking

Trailhead

There is a map right at the start of the trailhead.

Trail split 1

This trail split to the left goes up a hill to an exercise area with Gazebos at each end. On the hike out I stayed right and came back that way instead.

Intersection

Burak peak is not much of a peak and there is no view. Go right to skip it or left to go up. At the top, make a right by the tower to go back down to the main trail. If you continue straight off the backside it will take you down a spur of the ridge in the wrong direction.
