Sky High and So Worth It

#summervacay Spent a full day exploring mountain in Muju, and it totally lived up to the hype. This place is massive, tons of trails, thick forests, wide-open ridges, and those dreamy panoramic views you never get tired of. The climb is definitely a workout, but the scenery keeps you motivated the whole way up. Wildflowers, chirping birds, and fresh mountain air, what’s not to love? The peak, Hyangjeokbong, is where it all comes together. You’re standing above the clouds (literally if you’re lucky with the weather) and the surrounding peaks stretch out like a giant green ocean. There’s something about the wind up there that makes everything feel extra epic. Also, shoutout to the cable car option if you’re not feeling the full hike, still gets you incredible views without the sweat. Whether you go full-on trekking or take the scenic route, Deogyusan delivers. Pack layers, a camera, and snacks, you’ll want to stay up there forever.
