Destinations for Viewing Autumn Leaves in Seoraksan When the Colors Change

Nine Places to Experience Different Autumn Hues in Oeseorak, Naeseorak, and Namseorak

The autumn leaves of Seoraksan do not cover the entire mountain at once. The colors that start from Daecheongbong and the ridges change at different speeds as they descend toward the valleys and small parks, with Baekdam Valley in Naeseorak and Jujeonggol in Namseorak changing based on altitude and sunlight. This list highlights nine unique locations where rocky peaks, valleys, and temples meet the autumn foliage, not just viewpoints.

Instead of relying only on predicted peak times, it's more accurate to check the live photos from the National Park, local weather, and trail control together. During the peak autumn season, parking and shuttle wait times can exceed hiking times. Avoid strenuous travel before sunrise and roadside parking, and prioritize safe descents over the foliage when choosing your spots.

Seoraksan Small Park

Seoraksan Small Park is the autumn gateway to see low-altitude forests and rocky peaks together. The main route includes the small park walking path and the direction of Sinheungsa Temple, and it may involve some sections categorized as a stroll. Even if the course has the same name, the overall difficulty can vary based on the turn-around point and connecting sections, so refer to the on-site signs and the National Park's course guidance.

When planning, check for early morning public transport and parking congestion. Before heading out, verify the designated entry time system, real-time access control, and weather alerts, and do not enter controlled paths or unapproved trails. If your progress is slower than expected, prioritize a safe return over reaching your destination.

If you want to see the vast mountain range, Gwongeumseong and Ulsanbawi are great choices. For a contrast of the valley and autumn leaves, Cheonbul-dong, Baekdam, and Jujeonggol fit perfectly. Seoraksan National Park's small parks and Sinheungsa Temple are ideal for feeling the autumn atmosphere without a long hike, while Daeseung Falls and Heullimgol require some preparation due to stairs and inclines. It’s better to focus on walking one valley for a longer time than trying to cover more than two areas in one trip.

During the fall, use designated parking areas and public transportation, and be cautious of wet stones and roots under fallen leaves. Avoid stepping off the trails for photos, and be considerate not to block others' paths at viewpoints. Even if the colors aren’t fully developed or if it’s later in the season, the rocky peaks and valleys of Seoraksan still showcase stunning landscapes.
