About
Yoon Hong-geun is a park ranger and hiking expert at the Korea National Park Service. He is passionate about outdoor recreation as an outlet both physically and mentally. He has provided individual hiking support to the foreign community through guided tours, social media, and fielding inquiries. In 2024, with the help of Christian Jorgensen from Australia and Lily from Korea, they published Hiking the National Parks of Korea, a hiking guide for foreigners. The composition of the book includes a total of 46 hiking trails. Each has been introduced by selecting two representative hiking trails for each of the 23 Korean National Parks. Each course also includes around 10 vivid photos, and in particular, it introduces in detail the policies of national parks, such as controlling hiking trails during forest fire prevention, which are essential for hiking to national parks. This book contains so much important information that foreigners must know when hiking national parks.
