Terrain:

There are two peaks in the Pines Tree Hills Trail. For this trip will only ascend to the 1^st Peak. To reach the 1^st Peak, you will have to cover 5 hills. Upon reaching the 5^thhills 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 1^st peak. There’s a trail leading downwards DO NOT GO as it will lead you to the 2^ndPeak and another Gunung.

The total km to the 1^st 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 1^st 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
