Dalton Pass on a Clear Day

I first featured a Foggy Dalton Pass early this year on my trip with Dong Ho and Orlan. This time around, with Ferdz, Oggie and Erick, Dalton Pass was a picture of clear blue sky and green mountain. Its typical foggy state which use to envelope the entire place was amusingly absent.

Dalton Pass borders Nueva Ecija of Region III and Nueva Vizcaya of Region II. It was the scene of bloody battle during the second world war between the Allied American and Filipino forces against the Japanese. Dalton Pass was named after an American hero who died there. Commemorative markers for soldiers who perished during the war are installed in there.

So here are some photos have taken of Dalton Pass on a Clear Day:

  2. It's always nice to revisit a place and see it in a different light. If only I could do that to the places I've been.

  11. I remember that foggy Dalton Pass you featured here earlier of this year I think. So this is how it looks like on a clear sunny days. Beautiful sceneries coupled with cotton-white clouds plus gorgeous blue skies captured by a talented photographer.

    Very well done...

  21. These are pretty markers symbolizing an ugly war. The image of the cross and the stone are just so sad.

  27. it's much better to visit this place on a sunny day. its history is depressing enough for a foggy day visit.:P

  28. I remember to have read your foggy post about this place and I found it weird that a highway such as this is too foggy. Too many accidents in the place because of the fog. It is nice to see the sunny version of the place.
