Itinerary description

Chiaksan
Chiaksan (치악산) has an elevation of 1288 m at the highest Birobong peak. Namdaebong (1181 m) and Maehwasan Mountain (1085 m) peaks were not done in this hike.

Difficulty
It is a moderate hike. Finding a way is no problem. There is no scrambling, boulder hopping, climbing, abseiling, exposed walking on edges, etc.

Parking
I was dropped off early in the morning at Chiaksan Guryongsa Entrance (치악산 구룡사 입구) by car (coordinates 37.404860, 128.046620). I saw some cars were parked there.

Gear
It significantly depends on the season. For the end of October, you need:
1) High-cut hiking shoes
2) 1.5 liters of water, electrolytes
3) fleece jacket
4) windbreaker
5) headlamp in case you finish after sunset (you never know)
