❶ Due to its close proximity from Manila and Baguio City plus the plethora of Instagram-worthy photos taken from this mountain, the mountain can get a little crowded on weekends and holidays. If you have the luxury of time, try to arrange your trip to avoid the mountain congestion that happens during long weekends. That being said, the area can offer some pockets of solitude if you know where to look.
❷ Start your hike as early as possible as the heat can get intense past 8AM. Remember that some portions of the trail are exposed. Wear a strong sunscreen.
❸ There are no water sources on the trail so bring ample supply of drinking water.
❹ Visibility conditions at Camps 2 and summit vary widely. Wait until you get a clearing before you ascend or descend to avoid accidents.
❺ Cows are aplenty. They graze at some of the camps. They are normally tame and will let you be but, as with all animals, they can lose their temper. Do not provoke them with endless cow selfies.
❻ Follow your guide and stick with the established trail. The weather is tricky at the higher camps and you may get disoriented when the fog rolls in.
