Seokdubong is a 982-meter-high peak located in the inner valley of Garsaejaengi in Daegi 2-ri, Wangsan-myeon. It faces Hwaranbong, which is approximately 1,000 meters in elevation, at a suitable distance and height along the Baekdudaegan hiking trail. Although the trail is relatively gentle, it takes about 7 hours and 30 minutes to complete, so visitors are advised to prepare sufficient snacks and meals for the hike.

Seokdubong was once considered one of the most remote mountains in Gangwon State and was rarely visited in the past. Today, however, it is well known among hiking enthusiasts as a mountain offering excellent panoramic views from its summit. The western peak, slightly lower than the eastern peak of Seokdubong, features uniquely patterned rocks facing each other. Along the ridge line, the eastern and northern slopes are steep, while the southern and western areas form relatively flat basins that include Garsaejaengi and Daeyongsudong.

To hike Seokdubong, it is recommended to first drive up to the summit of Sapdangnyeong Pass. From Gangneung, head toward Daegwallyeong, then take National Route 35 to the left toward Imgye. Along the way, you will pass Obong Reservoir, which serves as a water source for Gangneung residents. Continuing up the steep mountain road, you will reach Sapdangnyeong, named for its trident-like shape. At the top of the pass, there is a Seonghwangdang shrine on the right; to reach Seokdubong, take the path next to the shrine. This area is mostly covered with oak trees.
As you follow the Seokdubong trail, you will encounter dense forests formed by broadleaf trees and dwarf bamboo. After about 40 minutes of hiking, you will meet a forest road halfway up the mountain. Upon reaching the long-awaited rocky mountain, Seokdubong, you will be greeted by an open sky that seems to touch the peaks. The summit is covered with rocks, and azaleas growing between them welcome visitors. Next to the summit is a large rock where you can climb up and enjoy the view of Yongsugol Valley while breathing in the fresh mountain air. On the descent from Seokdubong, you will come across a wide flat area inhabited by old broadleaf trees, as well as clusters of ancient pine trees. From this point, the trail continues downhill, making for an easier return.
