🌾 Stay warm on those 

cold mornings!🥶

      

Made some memories this morning at Myeongseongsan (명성산). 🌾 This weekend concluded the Myeongseongsan silver grass festival (명성산 억새 축제). 🌾 I'd been here recently, but I've also heard from others that it gets very crowded. I'm not one for crowds. Maybe a little anxiety on my part in busy places, so I, of course, opted to visit at my favorite time of day......sunrise. 🌄 The views were awesome. Not many people. Mostly backpackers at that time.

Early bird gets the worm. 🐦 

 

We reached the grass field and then followed the ridge for a while before returning on the same trail we ascended. Wow! The crowds were everywhere. Not my style! 😢 

                             

Those early mornings sure do get chilly this time of year. Today, I used my #Lundhags Tived Down Jacket. This thing is awesome. It packs so small and is incredibly light. It's a great jacket for warming up and for chilling on those peaks, eating all your snacks. When the cold really hits, it will be even more useful. The best part of this jacket is that it's made of recycled down and 100% recycled fibers. Sustainability is a value I truly appreciate when it comes to picking my hiking gear. ♻️
