Since this is my first article I'll write about my first hike.
Mount Macolod, also known as Mount Maculot, it is located in the municipality of Cuenca, Batangas in the Philippines.
And this is me ☝🏻👋🏻 standing in foot of the mountain.
Mt. Maculot has 930 MASL only and its difficulty is 4/9, this only means that if you're a beginner in mountain hiking, that is not a problem. In my case, I don't get tired that time I just enjoyed the views and the atmosphere is really refreshing.
Especially when reaching the peek, in my other hike, there were times that I got too tired, especially when I joined other group of hikers and we have this "meet up" at 2:00 am and start the hike at 3:00 am, I got wasted on the trail but everytime we reached the peek I gain my energy back and thank God for everything.
On my first hike I don't really get why a lot of people goes for mountain hiking, it is so hot and I see a lot of them being wasted, I don't get them until I reached the top. True, you can never get what it takes unless you feel it. There's always something on the top of the mountain, I don't know exactly how to explain it, it's just like there's something makes you feel so relaxed.
That's all for now, soon I'll write an article about my journey on other mountains. By the way, the photos are taken four (4) years ago.
Welcome to read! I hope I can hike that mountain too. I remember Firenze talking about that. Indeed, it's the view from the top that makes it all worth it to hike mountains.
