Most of you may not have heard about the uniqueness in this range of low hills. Perhaps also unaware of the possibilities to see raw quartz that easily. Here are some pictures of accidental encounters. 

 

 
A group of our friends trekking in the hills behind Ampang stumbled upon some rocks embedded with crystals. These had rolled down from higher grounds. 

 

 

On your next trip to the Gombak toll house, in clear weather, watch for this this "Ridge" .The picture before you bears resemblance of a scene from the Chinese art painting. There are Feng Sui masters who interpret this phenomenon as The "Dragons Spine" of Kuala Lumpur.

The tiny shed in the foreground? It is suppose to be the Gombak Toll House. While waiting to pay your toll. Look left and up - there is this majestic cliff wall. The northern tail end of the ridge.

 

This is the view of the 2 kilometers stretch of ridge that holds a trail at its apex. The continuously passable stretch of the whole ridge.

 

 Each morning the air over Kuala Lumpur warms up as sure as the sun rises. On another front, the moisture laden clouds formed over the Ulu Klang Dam too are lifted. The rate at which those over Kuala Lumpur are lifted is more rapid. Those cooler clouds over the body of water is influenced to join those down the valley by this parallel thermal lift. In their exodus, they pour over the dam in a current. See this phenomenon of a river of clouds drifting over the pass each morning around 7.30 am. You have to be standing on the top the ridge to get that ring side view. The clouds then is passing below you, some gift -a spectacular sight.
