Pick this one if you want to skip the queue at the Cloud Bridge. It starts at the Yongmun Valley entrance inside the resort area and climbs a gully between rock peaks to the Chilseongbong lookout, then over a saddle to Maecheondae. Allow about 1 hour 50 minutes for the 2.4 km up. The stones are rough and slow you down, but the crowds from the cable car and bridge mostly stay away.
