I’ve been up the mountain trail that starts right at the gate to the ville outside Camp Stanley many times when I was stationed there. But only hiked the mountain trail to the Budist temple once. (We went out the aviation gate and made a right and the base of the trail was a couple miles down the road.I assume its the same place.)We called it the stairway to heaven. My fellow soldiers sat on the base of the budah statue and pissed off the monks. So we didn’t get to stay long. Didn’t have a camera with me so I was glad to find this site. Thanks

I have been to Suraksan many times. Usually, I bring with me many metal spikes which I drive deep in the ground on the summit. I spent all day driving metal spikes in suraksan on Feb 10, 2008 and I was rewarded for a job well done.

Yes it is the mountain adjacent to Camp Stanley. However the trail I took up in this posting is from the opposite side of the mountain near Camp Jackson. However it is possible to walk up the mountain from the Camp Jackson side and walk right back to Camp Stanley. It is a good hike that I have done before.

[...] Camp Stanley is currently still open and is mainly a logistical base for the 2nd Infantry Division. Camp Stanley has actually escaped being surrounded by urban sprawl due to the fact that is located right next to a Korean prison and it’s adjacent rice paddies. The Korean prison is the building you see above with the blue roof. From Camp Stanley you can sometimes hear the prisoners singing songs and cadence from the prison. You can often see them working in the prison’s rice paddies as well. The picture below is of Camp Stanley as viewed from Surak Mountain: [...]
