Sokcho Seorak Cable Car, South Korea

The ideal way to comfortably appreciate the landscape of Seoraksan Mountain is using the Seorak Cable Car.  Sinheungsa Temple is a small temple near the cable car station.

It took me about 25 minutes of bus ride to the cable car station from Sokcho center.

I moved forward a little bit, then took these panoramic photos, left to right.

Closer view of the rock.  More trail is ahead, but I stopped here because the path looks slippery.
