Heituo Mountain, 2016/05/21
See a set of photos from our first group hike up Heituo Mountain.
We scouted this trail in April, 2016, and this hike was the first time we’d taken a group up to the peak of Heituo Mountain.
It’s a tough hike, with a lot of steep climbs to get up to the 1,500m peak. The views from the top are really worth the effort, and on this visit we had the mountain all to ourselves.
Around the back of the mountain are a lot of old valley trails, most of them disused and bushy. The wild areas behind the mountain are home to pigs and badgers.
We hiked up the old trails and then took a turn to make a steep climb up a trackless valley, topping out on the trail that would take us down the mountain to finish the hike.
