THE TRAILS OF MT. TIBIG: The first part of the trail is a gradual ascent. The terrain has hardwood trees with shrubs and grasses on the side. Fruit bearing trees like coconuts, mangoes, atis, and tamarind spread in the area that gives additional livelihood for the locals, aside from farming. Though it's short, the second part is a hard type until the old house and then, a moderate trek to the summit. The last is the most relaxing part because we were passing on the trails surrounded by grass, while the cold wind blowing.
