Terrain:
There are
two peaks in the Pines Tree Hills Trail. For this trip will only ascend to the
1st Peak. To reach the 1st Peak, you will have to cover 5
hills. Upon reaching the 5thhills you will see a 30 meters slope
with ropes on both side. This is the mossy area where the peak is just above on
the left after the rope. There’s a small trail to the left that leads you to
the 1st peak. There’s a trail leading downwards DO NOT GO as it will
lead you to the 2ndPeak and another Gunung.
The total
km to the 1st peak is 5.7km, there will be marker telling you how
many km you have covered.
+++++++++++++++++++++
For those
who have not been to this Pine Trail, the trail is clear and lately there been
fallen trees as such you have to crawl or climb over the trees trunks certain
part of the trail. The roots are slippery therefore be cautious when you step
on it.
The 1st
2.8km the path you will see concrete steps plus wooden, henceforth it will
clear path.
An
interesting about this trail is that the height when you start hiking will be
the same when you reach the peak. Therefore coming back will be upwards.
If it
rain heavily when we reach Fraser’s then the hike to pines trail will be
aborted as it will be slippery, the trek will be like a mini stream, however we
can hike the other 5 trails in around Fraser’s when the rain stop.
Have an
enjoyable and memorable trip
Happy
Trekking
