Dutasan itineraries

Beteul Rock Loop

Climb the deck stairs bolted to the cliff, look straight down into the gorge, then finish with cement-gray ice cream. The fullest single day on Dutasan.

Sleep at Mureung, Summit at Dawn

Stroll the valley on day one and sleep at the gate. The summit push at dawn on day two is the real Dutasan.

Mountain, Temple, Sea

Start at a Samcheok temple and market lanes, take an easy walk up Mureung Valley, and finish at Chuam and Mukho harbor. Gentle on the legs, good with parents.
