Wolchulsan Sky Bridge

Back before I went into hibernation for the winter, Zak and I went to find the suspended sky bridge in the Wolchulsan mountains in the South Jeolla province. He described this hike to me as being "pretty easy" but it was more of a moderate hike in my opinion. It was at a pretty steep incline the whole way but also has been traveled a lot so there were hand rails and ropes at the more difficult sections. If I remember correctly the hike took us a little over an hour to get to the sky bridge and would have been another hour to the summit. We were unable to summit because the sun was beginning to set and we still had quite a bit of a drive home.

The sky bridge itself was definitely worth the hike up. It is incredible to see in person! Although it is quite unnerving to be standing on the suspended bridge with so many people. Here are our photos, but I would definitely recommend to see it in person:

It was such a beautiful fall day and as always I recommend visiting here on a weekday, we decided to go on a Sunday because the weather forecast looked better but we ended up hiking like ants in an ant farm. See below:
