Mount Pulag is the highest peak in Luzon and the third-highest mountain in the Philippines at 2,926 metres, located in the Cordillera mountain range on the boundary of Benguet, Ifugao, and Nueva Vizcaya provinces. The summit is renowned for its sea of clouds phenomenon, most reliably produced at dawn from October through February when temperature inversions trap moisture in the valleys below the treeline. The upper slopes support montane mossy forest and a dwarf bamboo grassland that transitions to a summit plateau of grassland punctuated by sedge bogs.
