Map of the ridge
The baekdudaegan trail follows the line marked with our end point at Jinbu-ryeong located at the orange arrow just short of the DMZ. The Tiger is the animistic image of the Baekdu-daegan with its spine representing the ridge.
The logo
The logo represents the green piercing hills and mountains of the Baekdu Daegan and the blue cascading waters it generates. It is epitomized with a ‘koru’ a New Zealand Maori artwork that represents ‘new life’.
