A loop from Deokpung village: up the gorge past the third Yongso pool to the summit, then back along the helipad ridge to the village. It sees far fewer people than the Deokgu side, and both the gorge and the ridge are long. Published figures run to almost eleven hours, so a day trip means leaving before dawn.
