Wildflowers, Wind, and a Whole Lotta Wow

#summervacay Gyebangsan totally blew me away, literally and figuratively. This mountain’s got a bit of everything: chill forest trails, breezy ridgelines, and wide-open views that make you stop and go, “Dang, this is nice.” The hike starts off mellow with lots of shade and birds chirping, and then it slowly opens up into these grassy ridges that just keep going. What really stood out? The wildflowers! Seriously, they were everywhere. Felt like I was walking through some secret alpine garden. And that breeze near the top? So refreshing after a sweaty climb. The summit view is huge, you get a full panorama of layers and layers of mountains stretching out forever. It’s not the easiest hike, but definitely not the hardest either. Just that sweet spot of effort and reward. If you’re into mountain hikes with flower power and epic skies, Gyebangsan’s got your back. Would 100% go again, especially in spring or early summer when everything’s in bloom.
