MOUNT PULAG

Located in Kabayan, this mountain rises to 2,922 meters above sea level; it is the highest peak in Luzon Island and the second highest in the country, after Mount Apo in Mindanao Province. Pulag means "bald" in the Ibaloi dialect. An annual procession takes place there between February and April. The four-day hike to the summit provides a superb view of the Cagayan River valley, the Sierra Madre and Cordillera ranges, and the Pacific Ocean and China Sea.
