The trail usually used for climbing to Khao Ron starts at a place on the road to Khao Kaeo radar station.
The trail head elevation is around 1100 meters, and it is roughly 2.5 km through the thick forest along animal tracks to the peak.
In October the ground was found still moist and forest floor was covered by greenery and occasional flowers.
The forest eco-system in work; the dead trees become foundation and food for other plants such as these mushrooms.
Left: there are also some dry spots on the hill in the end of rainy season. Designers can collect the
forest floor photos to create patterns for floor plates used in the buildings. There are many animal tracks
covering the mountain. On the trail I saw many foot prints. This one (Right) may belong to a wild pig.
Foot prints of wild dogs, deers; and elephant droppings were also found.
