Stairs, Shrines & Sweet Views

#summervacay Hit up Soyosan and made it to Uisangdae, and wow, what a fun little adventure. The trail kicks off super chill with shaded paths and a stream running alongside you, which honestly sets the perfect tone. Then stairs. So many stairs. But weirdly, it’s kind of fun? Like a stairmaster in nature, with better views and fewer regrets. Along the way, you pass some seriously cool temples tucked into the mountain, and the vibe is just peaceful the whole time. It’s got this mix of spiritual and scenic that makes you wanna slow down and just take it all in. Uisangdae itself is a small pavilion perched on a rocky outcrop with killer views. It’s not a crazy high summit or anything, but it feels special, like you worked just hard enough to deserve the view. If you’re into short but rewarding hikes with a dash of culture and a sprinkle of leg day, Soyosan’s Uisangdae totally delivers.
