I hummed my way through the Rockies of Mt. Macaulot. The view from the mountaintop was so amazing. I saw trees that carpeting the forest floor, the tantalizing turquoise body of water as light of the sun dipped behind the range. The sound of the chirping birds flying across the sky, fresh fragrance of the wind as it blows through the leaves.
It's the relief of soft ground beneath my feet while standing on it and I am very happy to see the physical beauty of nature.

I can say that the trails at Mt. Maculot wasn't difficult as I've expected. Mas mahirap pala sya at ilang beses din akong nadulas :)). Though nakaya ko din naman, At first sight I thought I would say no then go back instead..seriously!! There are so many things about this experience that are hard to give words to, hard to describe to the uninitiated. The breathtaking beauty of nature, the unexpected trails, rocks & roots, hiker friendships, the kindness of strangers, and d physical pain & stress of hiking r just a few things I find difficult to convey. I've learned a lot .. Thanks God for the guidance, the perfect weather was just a bonus.. This travel is one of the moments i'm unlikely to forget..
