The preferred after-hike drink is makgeolli, a traditional milky, slightly sweet alcohol made from rice. Comfortable footwear and clothing are a must for this hike. Hiking boots or cross trainers/sneakers are ideal, and layers of clothing are recommended since they can be removed to suit comfort. Water is essential, but food isn't necessary as you can snack on peanuts or trail mix if needed.
