Trails
| Trail | Jump-off | Effort | Technical | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basco Trail | Brgy. San Antonio, Basco, Batanes | 4/9 | C | ~10.4 km (estimated, no mapped route) | Day hike (3–4 h ascent) |
Effort (1-9) is computed from distance, ascent and terrain; technical (A-E) follows the trail class, from a clear path (A) to real climbing (E). Elevations, grades and trail data are indicative - always verify with the LGU / DENR before a climb. Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.
Take Mt. Iraya offline
Bundok ng Pinas keeps a personal climb log, records your track with the screen off, saves this mountain's topographic map for use without signal and shows the same access notes on the trail. No account needed.
