Yeongnam Alps in Summer

#summervacay Hiking the Yeongnam Alps in summer is basically a full-on nature rollercoaster, hot, sweaty, and so worth it. I hit up a few peaks (hello, Gajisan and Sinbulsan 👋), and let me tell you, this range is showing off. Rolling ridges, dramatic rock faces, and grassy slopes that look like something out of The Sound of Music but, you know, with Korean vibes. Yeah, summer heat is real, so bring all the water and maybe an ice towel or two unless you want to feel like you’re melting into the trail. But the wildflowers, green everywhere, and those cloud-hugging views at the top? Straight-up magical. You’ll be drenched in sweat but too distracted by the scenery to care. The best part? It’s not crazy crowded, so you actually get those peaceful mountain moments without a million people around. Just you, the wind, and endless peaks stretching into the haze. Yeongnam Alps in summer: hot, humble, and absolutely healing.
