Introduction

Hallasan National Park is the highest peak of Jeju and a beautiful natural sanctuary, a majestic, beautiful dormant volcano with a crater lake at its summit, the backbone of Jeju and a magnificent sight. Hallasan stands at the center of Jeju, Korea's highest mountain and the island's backbone and soul, its national park listed as a World Natural Heritage site. Hallasan is a majestic, beautiful dormant volcano (Jeju itself was shaped by Hallasan's eruptions), beautiful, magnificent and full of spirit: its green, dense, varied vegetation (changing with altitude) and its scenery shifting through the seasons (spring azaleas, summer greenery, autumn red leaves, winter snow, especially magnificent) are picturesque. Its most unique and magnificent feature is the crater lake at the summit, Baengnokdam: a serene, beautiful volcanic lake formed by water collecting in the old crater (legend says immortals once herded white deer here, hence the name), beautiful and sacred. Visitors can hike Hallasan's well-equipped trails (some leading to Baengnokdam), enjoying the beautiful mountain forests changing with altitude and season, climbing high for wide views and closeness to nature, magnificent and pleasant (the summit trails are long and demanding; prepare well, pace yourself, mind weather and rules). A visit to Jeju and its beautiful, magnificent Hallasan is a magnificent sight.
