Mount Yangbew (Mt. Jumbo)
About
Baguio's easiest sunrise! Mount Yangbew is a grassy hill in La Trinidad with a wide-open summit: on a clear morning you see Baguio, the La Trinidad valley and a sea of clouds rolling over the mountains while the sun comes up. The climb from Tawang is short and beginner-friendly, so it's perfect for barkadas, couples and first-time hikers. Leave Baguio before dawn, bring a jacket and hot coffee, and stay for golden hour on the grass!
Dry until sunset (5:33 PM). Good time to go!
