한라산 정상을 정복하려면, 아무 코스로나 가서는 안 된다. 현재 백록담까지 오를 수 있는 코스는 성판악과 관음사 탐방로 두 곳뿐이다. 그중 성판악 코스가 좀 더 쉽고 무난하다. 대중교통을 이용한다면 성판악으로 올라가 관음사로 내려오는 것도 괜찮은 방법. 백록담까지는 왕복 8시간 안팎이 소요되기 때문에 체력을 안배하고 장비와 간식을 든든히 준비해야 한다.
To conquer the summit of Hallasan, one must not take just any trail. Currently, there are only two trails available that lead up to Baeknokdam: the Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa trails. Among these, the Seongpanak trail is somewhat easier and more manageable. If using public transportation, it is also a good option to ascend via Seongpanak and descend via Gwaneumsa. A round trip to Baeknokdam takes about 8 hours, so it is necessary to manage one's stamina and prepare equipment and snacks adequately.
