I want to hike the Four Rivers path again next fall because that would be the psychologically significant fifth time I will have done that trail. But with winter on the way, I'm thinking of doing another, much shorter hike in the cold weather: the Geumgang Trail, which I've never done before. The trail is only around 145 km in length, and at least one of the segments between certification centers is around 39 km in length. What's the distance once I add in lodging? I'll have to figure that out. While I can do 40-plus km in a single go, at least in theory (my "crazy walks" are 60K in length, so 45K ought to be doable), I'd rather keep my maximum distances in the 25-35K range. Then again, if there's lodging right at every cert-center stop, there should be no problem. But in my experience, once you start planning the route, you discover that nothing is as it seems. Still, 145K should be doable in about five or six days at a fairly easy pace. I'll tell you more as I learn more.
