Crushing the Obong Summit

#summervacay If you’re looking for a quick escape from the city chaos, Obong Peak at Dobongsan is a total win. The trail kicks off pretty mellow but throws in a few rocky climbs to keep things interesting. It’s not super long, so perfect for a half-day adventure, you’ll break a sweat but still have energy for some post-hike snacks. The views? Insane. Once you hit the summit, it’s all dramatic granite peaks and endless forest. You’ll want to pause and just soak it in (plus, great photo ops). It can get a bit crowded on weekends, so if you're into more chill vibes, try a weekday morning. Bring water, comfy shoes, and maybe some kimbap for the top. Oh, and there’s a temple on the way up, worth a quick peek if you’re into that kind of vibe. All in all, Obong is a solid mini-adventure. Nature hit, decent workout, and a killer view, what more do you need?
