Quiet Trails and Big Sky Energy

#summervacay Namdeogyusan is like Deogyusan’s chill cousin, less crowds, more peace, and seriously underrated. I didn’t really know what to expect, but wow, this hike had everything I love: forest paths, open ridgelines, and that calm, untouched feel that makes you forget about phone notifications and city noise. The trail starts off pretty gentle, with lots of tree cover and soft dirt underfoot, super easy on the knees. As you climb, the trees start thinning out and those open sky views hit hard. You get this sweeping panorama of endless mountain layers, and on a clear day? Pure magic. There’s this calm, still energy up top. No loud crowds, just wind and wide views. Perfect spot to munch on some kimbap and just vibe with nature. I even spotted a few wildflowers and little birds doing their thing. If you're into scenic, less-traveled trails with soul-soothing energy, Namdeogyusan is calling your name. Totally worth the trip. Quiet, beautiful, and kinda dreamy.
