Walk the Spine of a Giant: Hiking Dinosaur Ridge in Seorak National Park
If you’re searching for a hike that feels like an epic adventure through the heart of ancient earth, look no further. Towering above the forested valleys of Gangwon Province, the jagged peaks of Dinosaur Ridge slice through the sky like the spine of a colossal creature frozen in time. This is not just a hike — it’s a journey across the very bones of Korea’s most breathtaking national park.
Your day begins early in Seoul, where you’ll be picked up for a scenic drive to Seorakdong — the gateway to Seoraksan. From there, your trail winds upward through 6.5 km of dramatic ascents and natural stairways, leading you to the legendary Madeungnyeong Pass. And then the true magic begins: 5 km along the ridgeline, where every step brings sweeping views, rope-assisted scrambles, and the thrill of walking along Korea’s most iconic granite spine.
Though the hike is demanding, the path is well-maintained and guided by an experienced local expert. Expect about 6–7 hours of total hiking, including rest and a return via the stunning Yangpok trail, which traces a waterfall-fed valley back to the base. For those ready to challenge themselves and experience the raw beauty of Seorak National Park — this is the adventure to take. Join us on the ridge and walk where legends rise.
