Mt. Ulap Eco-Trail
Mount Ulap
Baguio's most popular one-day hike, following pine-covered ridges and grassy slopes, with sea-of-clouds views and a knife-edge rock.
The trail starts at Ampucao village in Itogon town. The full route is about 8 to 10 km, with a summit around 1,846 m, passing through pine forest, open grassy ridges and burial caves. The famous Gonigoni Rock is a clifftop photo spot, where you can often see clouds spreading out below in the early morning. Registration at the village hall, an environmental fee and a local guide (required) are all needed. The hike takes about 5 to 7 hours and is of moderate difficulty. It is about an hour's drive from Baguio city, and it's not advisable in the rainy season, when the trail is slippery.
