Hidden Gem Alert, Joryeong Mountain

#summervacay Checked out Joryeong Mountain on a whim and honestly? Kinda obsessed. It’s not super hyped like some of the bigger spots, but that’s what made it so good, way fewer people, way more chill. The trail starts off easy and then gives you just enough of a climb to feel like you did something. Nothing too wild, just steady uphill with some cool forest views along the way. There are a few spots where the trees open up and you get those surprise views, like, “oh hey, didn’t expect that.” And at the top, the scenery is just clean. Mountains in the distance, fresh air, and that quiet stillness that makes you wanna just hang out for a while. It’s the kind of hike that clears your head without wrecking your legs. No drama, just good nature vibes. If you’re looking for a peaceful, low-key trail with great views and no stress, Joryeong’s definitely worth the trip.
