Timeline
16:34
Start the climb at the trail head. The first few kilometers are unpaved, so take your time and enjoy the fresh air. The round trip takes about five hours, but you only need to reach a good vantage point for the view.
18:24
Settle into a comfortable spot on the mountain. The sun sets toward the WNW, offering a wide view of the sky shifting from bright gold to deep blue.
19:04
Watch the sunset. The light fades quickly after the sun dips below the horizon.
20:34
Begin your descent. The climb back down is easier on the knees than the ascent.
22:04
Finish in Jinego. Grab a snack or a warm drink to warm up after the climb. The road to the trail head is unpaved for the last few kilometers, so allow extra time if you are driving back.
