Wow, @syskwl, what a fantastic trek through 삼성산 and 관악산! Your photos are stunning, capturing the beauty of the 비둘기바위 and 장군봉 even in the rain. I especially appreciate your focus on the importance of footwear for hiking. Your point about shedding weight on your feet being like shedding weight from your pack is spot on!

And the historical and cultural context you provided about 비둘기 (pigeons) was fascinating! I had no idea they had such a rich story. It's a shame 장군봉 doesn't have a marker. Hopefully, your post will inspire more people to appreciate its significance.

Have you ever tried minimalist hiking shoes? I'm curious to know your thoughts on them, given your experience with trail running shoes. Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure!
