Goseong Dino Park with Seoul Hiking Group

After a wonderful hike and bonfire we awoke ready for the ferry and bus ride to Goseong Dinosaur Museum.  The second part of Warren’s Seoul Hiking Group expedition supposedly sported the world’s largest collection of dinosaur footprint fossils.  After a quick nap on the bus I found myself strolling past life-size replicas of the monstrous beasts!

The museum itself is requires a nominal fee and is very family friendly.  I opted to follow most of my group down a winding path outside of the museum instead.  After crossing a dino-themed bridge and weaving through the evergreens we came upon a beautiful bay.  In the distance we spotted Saryangdo from yesterday’s hike before our man-made path turned into a series of incredible igneous rock steps hovering over the sea.  _DSC9945 _DSC9952 _DSC9956 _DSC9957

Saryangdo & Goseong Dino Park – A sneak peak

This weekend I took my first trip with Seoul Hiking Group to Saryangdo Island, Goseong Dino Park and Topas Temple.  It was a phenomenal excursion thanks to Warren and his helpers from Seoul Hiking Group!  We jumped on a bus Friday night to wake up for a sunrise ferry to Saryangdo Island where we hiked the ridgeline of series of 6 peaks.
Today we went to Goseong Dino Park to see some more great scenery and one of the world’s largest dinosaur footprint fossil collection.  On the way back to Seoul we stopped at the brilliant Buddhist Tapsa Temple carved into the mountain.  I can’t wait to get through the rest of my photos and recreate the trip for you but alas its Sunday evening.  Enjoy this sneak peak for now!
