Mt Daguldol

Located in San Juan, Batangas, Mt. Daguldol is one of those mountains which is considered as a total package because of side trips to falls (Naambon Falls) and a beach (Hugom Beach). It was Team Una's first organized event for "Summit to Sea" series because of it's relatively short and beginner friendly Trail ideal to those who are being introduced to hiking. Mt Daguldol has a total elevation of 2198 ft and a surprising 1850 ft elevation gain from the jump off until reaching the summit.

The trail is mostly ascent with minimal flat terrain that passes through a established trail which is lined up with several huge boulders, coconut trees, and forested portions until reaching Sitio Catmon which marks more than half of the trail and a total elevation gain of 1000ft. From there on the trail becomes steeper that passes a steeper terrain which ranges from muddy to loose soil and some rocky portions. There are several stores along the trail which sells softdrinks, Buko Juice and Halo-Halo for the refreshing feeling.

After several hours of hiking, we reached the summit which is characterized by a huge grassland ideal for grazing cows. It offers a picturesque view of the surrounding area including the neighboring Mt. Lobo and Naguiling where we took some pictures, played around and just enjoyed the soothing breeze of the summit.
