Pinoy Joyride - Halsema Highway (South Bound) Joyride 

Bontoc to Baguio Route (Southbound)
Probably one of the most longest joyride and uploaded here on dmitrivalencia channel. This is the Halsema Highway, considered as one of the dangerous roads in the world and considered also as one of the highest elevated highways in the Philippines as the Philippine Pali is located here. From Bontoc Mountain Province to La Trinidad Benguet and Baguio this trip was around 3 to 4 hours on private vehicle. The entire stretch is above beautiful mountains, unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and there was fog almost everywhere. You could see beautiful highland vegetation along this highway. Do not worry about fuel as towns have reputable gasoline stations, eateries, and rest areas. One thing that i admire passing here was the courtesy the local drivers have here, they seem to understand and give way to faster cars. Unlike drivers in the city where being overtaken is already synonymous to stepping to their egos, the drivers here would gladly let you pass by turning their signal lights to right and slowing down letting you pass. One danger here is domesticated animals something are let lose over the towns so drive slowly to avoid hitting dogs and chickens. You will be passing many mountains along this route. By the way be careful of skidding. Since temperature here gets cold and wet due to moisture and climate, there is a possibility of skidding.
Finally the last of the 5 must drive list of mine is complete.

As of documentation:
Road Condition - Some rough roads and under repair roads due to maintenance but the rest are good roads. Be warned of slippery roads due to climate.
Drive Thrill - You have all the challenges here - enjoy!
Security - i guess no problem even at night as i approach back to Sagada, not much vehicles so far no insurgents. Fuel stations no problem.
