Since my travel posts seem to be all over the place, oftentimes across a non-linear time frame, I thought I would attempt to condense them into an online travel guide with links back to the original, more detailed posts. Consider this a work in progress until I figure out the best way to organize all this info! Anyway, here’s my first stab at a travel guide to Seoraksan National Park. This guide is probably best suited for those who have more than one day in the park, although individually, each hike can be done in a day (or two hikes in one day if you are up early enough!). If you’re not planning on hiking and camping out on the ridge trails/shelters, then I think 2-3 days is a good amount of time to explore at least one side of the park.
