Bagging It!
Mount Sicapoo is the highest peak in Ilocos Norte. It was first fully ascended in 2009. The trailhead is at Solsona to the north-west of the summit. There are two trails, with one following the Gasgas river and Balbalitok (724m) and another leading over Mt. Timarid (1,527m). The trails meet prior to Mt. Bubuos (1,410m).
Classic itinerary spans 3–4 days and covers approximately 44 km one‑way over multiple ridges.
