Hiking the Jeju Island Olle Trails, part 2 – South Coast
On the south coast of Jeju Island, we spend three days walking the Olle trails. The landscapes are varied: coastal cliffs, orange groves, dense subtropical vegetation, open views of lava coastline, sea-stacks, gravel beaches, and more. We wish we had more time to continue down the Olle trails.

Photo gallery: Great Gray Owls
I encounter two great grey owls in the woods. Over the next 45 minutes, the owls pose for pictures and hunt for prey. It was a powerful and moving experience for me, spending time with these magnificent creatures.
