| Rising some 4,823 feet above sea level (1,196 meters), Mt. Iriga is a challenging climb and offers a panoramic view of the entire Bicol River basin area. A crater and gully was formed during the mountain's last recorded eruption on January 4, 1614. The crater drops to some 500 feet deep from the summit. It's cold surrounding makes it a fitting habitat for wild berries and a local specie of pine called agoho, which abundantly grow in the area. Regular mountain climbing activities are held yearly with participants coming from Iriga City, its neighboring towns and from as many parts of the country. |
