Hanging Coffins in Echo Valley, Philippines

Displayed:   times.

To get to these Hanging Coffins you have to climb down a cliff face! Not straight down but you might get a little banged up! Or if you don't want to climb down and want a less adventurous way to see them you could walk out the road just past the the Rocky Valley Inn and walk along until you find a path on your right. There aren't any signs though so just look for a path in the forest! Well back to the story my son and I arrived around 3:30 in the afternoon and I wanted to do this hike that afternoon so after checking in at the Greenhouse Guesthouse we started off on our hike and Guess What? I started raining!!! REALLY pouring down!!!! We just kept going as were are pretty hardy hikers!! We made it to the St Marys Episcopal Church which is near the start of the trail but we were just soaked!! Even my little day pack was soaked and we didn't have any rain jackets! We checked out the Church and decided to move on through the Cemetary which was pretty spooky in the rain!! As we made it to the top of the hill we could barely see into the valley. We went down the trail for about 100 Ft but it was just to slippery!! There was no way we could get down into the valley!! So we made our way back to the Guest house hoping that the rain would stop! But it only stopped as we were in the final approach to the Guest House so we went to our room and changed clothes! We only travel with 2 shirts each we couldn't afford to get wet again that night!! And we had to hope that our stuff would dry by morning!! There wasn't any heat in the room so that would be a difficult task!! You can read about the rest of this evening in my Restaurant tips!! Fondest Memory: This picture was actually taken the next morning!!
