tip:
- Go there on a sunny day, I know it’s sentido comon but weather in Baguio can be unpredictable at times. Summer mornings where the sun is sure to shine until afternoon is the best time.
- Go there with someone, this trail is secluded. There are only a few people who take this route so your safety is important. When we went there we only met three hikers/joggers.
- Get water (op kors!)
- Be aware of your surroundings and enjoy!
