Mt. Damas, with an elevation of 685+ MASL, is a mountain in Tarlac with amazing views from its summit, healthy forest areas, and cool weather. Although until now, it is under debate whether it’s a minor or a major hike. Others would say it’s minor because of its elevation, but others would say it's major because of its trail type and technicalities. During our ascent, they were both correct; the entire journey was composed of an uphill and downhill trek with a river crossing. That doesn't end there; since it's wet season, the muddy and slippery terrains made our journey remarkable.
