From Seoknam Tunnel you climb Gajisan, then follow the ridge down to Araetjae. It is 2.6 km from the summit to the Baegunsan junction and another 1.3 km of steep descent to the saddle. From the saddle Unmunsan is a little over 1.5 km and about an hour and a half uphill. The last 4.5 km from the Unmunsan summit passes Seonnyeo Falls and a boulder field to the Seokgolsa car park. Some split it over two days.
