Trails
| Trail | Jump-off | Effort | Technical | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiwi Trail | Brgy. Cale, Tiwi, Albay | 5/9 | B | ~16 km (estimated, no mapped route) | Day hike (~4–5 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 Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.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. Malinao offline
