Mount Sorak Korea’s mountains often make up in steepness and ruggedness for their relative lack of height. This is the case especially at Mt. Sorak National Park on the northeast coast, where towering escarpments resemble the battlements of fantastic castles. Often thick mists drift around and between the peaks, blurring outlines and smudging steep distant pine trees into figures from an ancient ink scroll. Here, in fact, is where ancient artists received their inspiration for those treasured paintings, the subjects of which seem imaginatively extravagant to those who have not visited Mt. Sorak. Only five hours from Seoul by bus or car, a resort is under development here which offers not only traditionjal pursuits like hiking and mountain-climbing, but also the convenience of luxury hotels, international cuisine, swimming or skiing in season. Mt. Sorak National Park is large enough that even after completion of the resort there will be many acres of unspoiled wilderness remainin to intrigue nature lovers, excite sportsmen and inspire photographers and artists to emulate the masterpieces of the past. Autumn colors are sometimes muted by the mists that form around the craggy peaks of Mt. Sorak. Sunrise on this mountain’s top is one of the most beautiful in the world.
