Pine Tree Hill
The early gathering of the Kuala Lumpur Hiking & Trail Running group at the Fraser's Hill clock tower at 07:15 was very welcome after the long ride in the early hours of the morning. I found the night before to be completely devoid of sleep and as seems to always be the case, weariness began to creep in just as we were setting out.

Saga Hill & Waterfall
Saga Hill was a pretty straightforward trek compared to almost everything else that I had done before. Despite the pace being very slow as the fairly large group had a lot of beginners, the peak was reached with roughly a half hour of steady trekking.
