THE Pine Tree Hill in Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, is popular among hikers and nature lovers as there are two summits on Pine Tree Hill, which is just 660m apart.

It is supposedly one of the toughest of the six trails there because of the punishing muddy and rocky trail, steep inclines, slopes and fallen trees. There is an almost 80 degree incline near the first summit which is Pine Tree Peak.
