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’.
The translation team - gotta love these guys!

The ribbon trail
Also known as the ribbon trail the Baekdu Daegan is frequently emblazoned with (tags) or ribbons indicating the conquests of previous trail parties. We will also be blazing our trail with a ribbon. Keep an eye out for it.
