Rather than make our reservation in advance, we decided to just see what was available when we got out to Cheorwon. There were a bunch of "pensions" (what Koreans call privately owned motel-ish places fixed up for vacationers) out near a gorge used in the summer for white-water rafting, but...
This is the location of a memorial to the UN effort in the Korean War, as this area was the center of fierce fighting during the last two years of the Korean War; it was also in North Korean territory from 1945 until the War. There's some old military equipment...
