Nov.02-2008, Round 01: Dragon's Back
Went hiking with a group of Veterans last Sunday at the so called Dragon's Back. Heard from "S" that it was a easy ride with a nice view. Right about the view. Ride? Smooth until the Pro's decided to cut some corners. ↓
Paths to overcome.
Left: Stairway to Heaven (Official)
Center: Rocky Mountain (Semi-Official)
Right: Brazilian Rain Forest (Unofficial). Forget the concrete pavement. The veterans have their own route. Honestly this was more interesting but that was one helluva climb. Had to push away / grab onto branches and plants in the forest to get through my way.
Saw a lot of groups bring their dogs along. This one's a fatass, I hope he got through.
On the way to the top.
The peak. Now we go for the dragon's back ride. It does feel like the dragon's back. Perfect naming.
Valley of the Wind
Rollin. The scenery was amazing, although it was a bit cloudy this day. The mist gave a lot of mood though so I guess that's also a choice. Would like to come back again on a sunny day.
No racks 'n fences. Could've slipped and rolled 10 minutes all the way down. It's also what made the scenery so impressive though. Natural.
One friggin long dragon. Walked around 3.5~4 hours.
At the end we started walking down. When we were done, one of the leaders asked us if we wanted to walk more since it was a nice day. Said there was a nice route just below to the Dam and it'll only take 1.5 hours. Thought heck why not so we went to cool off.
Turned out to be a 3 hour walk. That's Round 02.

Yea it was a good ride! The curves were really smooth (yet bumpy) and damn it was high. Let me know if you wanna try it out we can go ride together.
