A Postcard - Perfect SideTrip

Ambuklao Dam, Bokod, Benguet

Title: Side Tripping Ambuklao Dam

(This is a recount of my first encounter with the sea of clouds and surreal slopes that Mt. Pulag has become synonymous with.
The cringe, exhaustion, extreme heat, thin air, dropping temp, breathtaking sunrise and soap-opera worthy experience
are the bits and pieces of memories I have with this mountain.) 

~This placid lake gilded with vibrant hues

perfects a canvas brushed in blues

cold rocks, soft waves, dulling an infinite cruise

swirling, beating, circling shades infused ~

The view at the mouth of Ambuklao Dam en route to Mt. Pulag

After almost thirty minutes of top-load ride, we caught sight of one of the oldest and largest hydroelectric power plants in the country,the Ambuklao Dam located in Bokod, Benguet.
