내장산국립공원 단풍

On October 24, 2025, I went on a fall foliage hike to Naejangsan Mountain. Perhaps because of the heavy rain this year, the fall foliage conditions weren't great on many mountains. I went to see the best fall foliage conditions and timing at the national park's number one fall foliage spot. I thought the summit would still have some leaves, but... I was disappointed to find that only about 10% of the leaves had turned. It seems like it will take at least two more weeks for the foliage to fully bloom. This hike started at Naejangsan Parking Lot 1, ascended to Uhwajeong Pavilion, Naejangsa Temple's Iljumun Gate, Baekryeonam Hermitage, Seoraebong Peak, Bulchulbong Peak, Manghaebong Peak, Yeonjibong Peak, Kkachibong Peak, and the highest peak, Sinseonbong Peak (763m). Descended from the valley at Sinseon Samgeori, I visited Yonggulam and Eunjeokam Hermitage. I then visited the site where the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, stored in Jeonju Sago during the Imjin War, were stored. Finally, I stopped by Naejangsa Temple and descended.
