MOUNT BALAGBAG SUMMIT//BRGY.SAN ISIDRO MONTALBAN RIZAL//TANAW FARM RESTHOUSE

This mountain is part of the Sierra Madre range as it transitions into the plains of Central and Southern Luzon. At over 700 MASL, it is of sufficient elevation to offer views of Ortigas and some parts of Metro Manila, as well as the Ipo Watershed.
The trail is very easy and wide, and Mt. Balagbag is also a favorite of mountain bikers. Although locals recall a past when the mountain was covered with trees, it is now barren, and hikers who will trek it summer will find sun exposure as the only difficulty in this trek. Hence, dim trekking (hiking very early in the morning or late afternoon) is recommended.
Additional features of Mt. Balagbag includes some small waterfalls and rivers along the way, as well as the possibility of traversing to San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan or other barangays of Rodriguez, Rizal. Along the way to Mt. Balabag, there is also the Veterans’ Peak or Veterans’ Summit which is more of a local tourist spot. There are security concerns regarding Balagbag at the moment, but it has the potential to be a nice and near hiking spot from Manila.
Mt. Balagbag is a popular hiking destination because of its proximity to Metro Manila. It is part of the Sierra Madre Range as it transitions into the lowlands of Central and Southern Luzon. Easy and broad, Mt. Balagbag is also a popular mountain bike destination. Hikers who attempt this trek during the summer will endure primarily exposure to the sun - though locals recall that the peak was once covered with trees - which maybe now lost due to illegal logging. For this reason, dim trekking or early morning or late afternoon hikes are recommended.
Some tiny waterfalls and rivers may also be seen on the road to Mt. Balagbag in Rodriguez, Rizal, which can also be crossed from San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan or other nearby towns. Aside from hiking, this mountain is also a favorite destination for runners, bikers, and 4×4 wheel enthusiasts. It’s a great training venue for them before joining a competition. The trail is also wide so big cars can go up near the helipad
