This hike and the hike to Sungai Merah will take place simultaneously. From the summit of Pine Tree, the hike to Sungai Merah continues.

The Pine Tree Trail at Fraser's Hill is a tricky hike. It has multiple ascents and descents, but most of all hundreds of stair steps, which also makes it an ideal training ground for a Mount Kinabalu climb.

The trailhead is located relatively high in Fraser's Hill, which makes this hike special because it is most probably one of the few hikes where one has to start with a descent.

The difference in altitude between the trailhead and the summit is less than 200m but the total ascent/descent will reach almost 1500m.

This is a hike which is suitable for “beginners” and “less experienced hikers”, provided you are physically fit. Please read the “Beginners” hike message on the message board to avoid all misunderstandings...

Please note that Bukit Fraser is a 2 hours drive from KL, so hopefully carpooling can be arranged and pick-up places will depend on the residence of the participants. Those who are looking for a ride have to contact a driver in their neighbourhood, not the other way around! For this hike, the carpooling fee is fixed at RM15.00 per passenger. Passengers, please don't wait for your driver to ask for the fee...

It would be nice if you could change the hometown in your profile to the location of your residence (eg USJ 11, Damansara Perdana, SS 7, Sentul, Seksyen 5 Shah Alam, Bandar Puteri Puchong, Ampang, etc...). This will make carpooling efforts much easier.

In order to allow me to communicate directly with the participants, no guests are allowed. At many occasions in the past, guests were not properly briefed by their respective hosts. If you want your guests to participate, ask them to sign up as a member; it's free. They can cancel their membership after the hike if they want to.

Besides the classical hiking tips, please note the following:

wear shoes with profile (a pattern on the soles to prevent slipping and gliding)

rain gear is recommended

bring a towel and some dry clothes/shoes and leave it in the car - passengers also bring some newspapers and towels in order to keep your driver's car as clean as possible we don't have to cross any streams

a pair of gloves doesn't weigh that much (thorns, roots, trees, mud)

bring a whistle, your personal first aid kit and a headlight

bring enough drinks and snacks (carbohydrates). For this trip isotonic drinks are not a luxury. You will need at least 3 to 4 liters of drinks. Dried fruits are preferred over chocolate...

leech protection is advised

there are no restrooms at the car park please be responsible and don't litter – be sure not to leave any rubbish along the track and on the top
