Can our 5yo Hike to Mt Pinatubo Crater Lake? - Zambles 🇵🇭

Celebrate life with an epic adventure! ⛰️
For Sophia's 12th birthday, we traded cake and candles for volcanic craters and breathtaking views! Join us on a journey to climb the mighty Mt. Pinatubo and witness the awe-inspiring Crater Lake - a reward truly deserving of champions.
This wasn't just any hike; it was a test of grit, determination, and family spirit. We rose before the sun, our headlamps cutting through the pre-dawn darkness as we embarked on the challenging ascent. ‍The trail, a mix of volcanic ash and loose rocks, demanded every ounce of our energy, but the breathtaking scenery kept us fueled.
The kids, true adventurers in the making, tackled each obstacle with unwavering enthusiasm. Whether scaling rocky inclines or navigating slippery slopes, they never faltered, reminding us that the greatest victories are often measured not in distance, but in spirit.
Finally, after hours of pushing our limits, we reached the summit. And what a sight awaited us! The Crater Lake, nestled within the volcanic caldera, unfolded in all its turquoise glory, a reward beyond compare. The feeling of accomplishment, shared with our loved ones, made every bead of sweat and aching muscle worth it.
This birthday adventure wasn't just about conquering a mountain; it was about conquering fears, building resilience, and forging memories that will last a lifetime. So, the next time you're faced with a challenge, remember Sophia's story, and remember that the greatest treasures often lie just beyond your comfort zone.
Many thanks to Danny's Adventure who help us get to the Crater Lake and back!
Here are some of our highlights of our hike:
02:16 - Jeep trip to the hiking
04:31 - Toblerone Hills
06:26 - 7km hike to Crater Lake
14:02 - Crater Lake!
15:57 - Hike back home
I hope you enjoyed our adventure to Mt Pinatubo and it inspires you to try the hike yourself!

[@C_Family_Adventures]

Yes we loved the hike, it was hard but rewarding!

[@motivationontop6587]

That Mt. volcano was a legend in the Philippines and you get to see it yourself while you still young was an epic journey

[@C_Family_Adventures]

It truly was an awesome experience that we will never forget.

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot2324]

I couldn't believe I survived that journey back 13 February this year, but it was epic and at 60 still managed to keep up with the younger generation. The excitement will drive you to get there. It was a nice way to celebrate Sophias birthday that gave me ideas for my grandkids.

[@C_Family_Adventures]

Great work hiking this, it's not easy!

[@wynncruz1467]

Admirable for your kids to have endured the long hike towards and from Mt. Pinatubo. I guess hiking with their parents in tow must have spelled a big difference. 😀

[@C_Family_Adventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@johnleeIsMe]

WOW and WOW!!! Your kids are super awesome and brave, they made that 7km trek in the middle of post-apocalyptic view like. The views there were really awesome. It would be nicer, if they allowed you to go down near the crater lake. Just no swimming though, it would melt your skin. All in all, a great time with your kids braving the trek. I hope Sophia is happy you did this on her birthday 😊 Happy Birthday Sophia! 😊

[@C_Family_Adventures]

You are allowed to go down to the lake (not swim)... But we were tired and did not want to hike down and up again 😭

[@C_Family_Adventures]

Thanks, we will look into this!

[@jorgesobremonte9642]

It's interesting that the flag you've been using in your thumbnails is that of the Philippine Commonwealth. Just an observation

[@C_Family_Adventures]

Oh no, I think we got it from Wikipedia, we will have to look again!

[@jorgesobremonte9642]

@@C_Family_Adventures No worries! Since the turn of the 20th century, the Philippine flag throughout the years has looked quite similar due the subtle changes so it's understandable how people can interchange them. And as history geek, it's quite easy for me to notice these things since I don't see that flag used very often. I'm glad you guys had fun.
