The volcano is located 87 km (55 miles) northwest of Manila, 14 km (9 miles) west of the former Clark Air Base, and 37 km (23 mi) north of the former U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay<br />
Clark Air Base's residential areas and petroleum storage facilities were in much closer proximity to the volcano than the airfield complex and neighboring Angeles City.<br />
<br />
The first part of the trip involved a 1hr 4wd trip in the jeeps pictured below.<br />

Once the jeeps went as far as they could we had to hike.<br />
