Mt. Poswey

Standing at more than 1,546 meters above sea level, Mt. Poswey ranks among the highest mountains of Abra. From the jump-off point at barangay Bao-yan, the trek takes around 3 to 4 hours. The trail presents challenges before one can finally assault the summit. For one, there are steep and uphill parts of the trail. Fallen trees and eroded portions also add to the menace. Further, leeches abound during especially during the rainy months. However, the views all along are rewarding. What more if one gets to the top? Mt. Poswey is a prime biodiversity area. In fact, the critically-endangered Philippine eagle has been sighted in the area. This mountain, therefore, must be given attention and protection.
