It was then in December of 2021 when my parents and had our vacation at Malicgong, Bontoc, Mountain Province.

One morning at around 4:00 am, my parents and I together with my uncles and aunts began hiking from favrey going to Mount Kupapey. It was very cold during that time. While on our way to the top of the mountain, I was amazed by the well-preserved pine tress, wild flowers and other plants preset on that mountain.

When we reached the top of Mount Kupapey, I was already freezing due to the coldness of the place. It was my first time to experience these things in my life. I heard thr sound of the wind blowing the leaves of the pines.

It was agreat opportunity for me to view the sea of clouds and witness the sunrise. After the clouds went up to the sky, I enjoyed the freshness of the air while viewing the famous Malicgong Rice Terraces built by my ancestors like stairways to heaven.

Having visited Mount Kupapey is one of my happy moments. Truly, what an unforgettable Mount Kupapey.
