Jikso Waterfall

After climbing down some muddy trails, stairs, and rock piles, we arrived at Jikso Waterfall, one of the most popular sites in Byeonsan Bando. I believe it's a 30 meter fall. There is a pool at the base with clear, green water. It's quite nice. Had the water not been so cold, I would have gone swimming.











I did manage a wade, though.





The rocks were quite slippery, so I had to kind of crawl out into the water and back.





The pool flows into a little creek, which flows through a wooded area (as if the whole park isn't wooded).


The creek flows into this much smaller fall:





Here's a little more perspective on its size:





After that tiny fall, the creek widens into a bigger fall (you can see the dropoff below):






I did a little climbing about on the rocks:









Here's the third waterfall:






We saw some frogs about. We played with them. They did not mind being touched and petted, but they were not into being captured.
