Getting to Quirino Hill
Quirino Hill is located on the north west part of Baguio. Its slope at the north is a part of Pico, La Trinidad, which roll down to the road of Km. 3, so Quirino Hill is one among the places that marks the land limit of the City.
From the Central Business District (CBD), in order to get to Quirino Hill, you can take either of the three main roads - the Bokawkan Road, Magsaysay Avenue or the Trancoville Road. A regular public Jeepney transit bound for Quirino Hill can be accessed at Lakandula Street. The Jeepney would pass through the Magsaysay Avenue until it reaches the lower portion, then it would push into the Camdas Street, and at the end of the street it will begin to assume the Quirino Hill area. Then the vehicle slowly traverse the winding and bending residential alleys until it gets to the topmost part of the hill. At the top of the Middle Quirino Hill Barangay you will find the View Deck near the St. Paul's Mission Church and the Quirino Hill Elementary School. The View Deck can offer you a good sight at the half of Baguio, probably ( you can go there if you want to prove :D )...oops! You must not forget your telescope.
You can also go to the other side of the hill, at the north, to see La Trinidad, the Balili River, the La Trinidad plateau, and its surrounding valleys.
To exit Quirino Hill, you may walk down through the column of stairways going down to the base, or you may take a ride on a public utitlity vehicle going down the hill.
