Philippine Grandfather Mountain Apo

One of my bucket lists got checked! It was Mt. Apo! It is the highest mountain in the Philippine Archipelago and the 24th highest peak of an island on Earth. Rising 2956 Meters Above Sea Level, Mt. Apo stands as the highest mountain in the Philippines. Also considered the grandfather of Philippine mountains and a sacred place in local mythology, Mt. Apo is an important climb, especially for local mountaineers. Those seeking to experience its trails will also find themselves immersed in the rich culture of the people living at the foot of the mountain. The experience still feels surreal— In awe of what lay in front of me and simply grateful for the experience and its totality. Difficulty: Advanced (7/10) Hike Duration: 3 days Location: Davao & North Cotobato Elevation: 2956 MASL #whenindavao #mtaposummit #mountaineering #mountainview #bucketlist #mtapo #philippinehighestmountain #mymindanao #philippineoutdoors
