I'm heading to Sokcho to do a few day hikes in Seoraksan in a few weeks. I'm expecting it to be a zoo, so I'm hoping to find a few trails that are less congested. I don't have my own wheels, so I need trails that are accessible by bus. Do any of you have any recommended trails there that are relatively quiet?
Thanks for any advice

There are very few trails in the park. They keep the hikers on specified areas so the place does not get beaten down. The best one I have found is to go in from Bak Dam Sa temple, you can take a bus from Sokcho, about an hour, it is the west end of the park.
Or you can take bus 1-1 to the last stop and hike in from the south entrance. Both of these go over Dae Chun Bong Mountain but I have heard a rumor, not for sure, that the trail over the mountain is closed to let the area recover from hiking.
If you go in the main gate, taking bus 7 or 7-1 from Sokcho, there will not be many people after a mile or two. Nice waterfalls.
