This national park preserves the area around this mountain range, including natural habitats and small villages, largely surrounded by pineapple fields. There are a variety of activities here, including hiking, mountain climbing, and wildlife viewing. A guide is invaluable and permit to enter the park is mandatory. We came for birding, and stayed at the Del Monte Lodge accessed by horse and foot from the northeast side of the park near the town of Dalwangan. The Lodge is well known among birders, has good resident guides, and easy access to good trails; facilities are very modest but adequate. We also made a day trip to access the park from the southeast side at Cinchoca Park, Kaatuan, Lantapan. We most wanted to see the Philippine eagle and other endemic species, and were fortunate to have good views of many.
