Mountain Magic

#summervacay If you're thinking about hitting up Gyeryongsan for a hike, do it. Seriously. I went last weekend and it was way better than I expected. The trails are super well-marked, and there's a mix of chill paths and steeper stuff if you're feeling ambitious. I started from the Donghaksa side, and the forest vibes there? Unreal. Like walking through a fairytale, especially with the mist hanging around the trees. The views from the top are totally worth the climb, wide open mountain scenes that make you wanna just sit and stare. Also, the temples tucked along the way? Beautiful and peaceful, perfect little rest spots. Bring snacks, water, and good shoes. And go early if you want it a bit quieter. Overall, it’s not the toughest hike ever, but it still gives you that solid “I did something cool” feeling. Would 100% go again, Gyeryongsan hits that sweet spot between adventure and zen.
