Moss-slick steps give way to a clearing where mist lifts and a sharpened ridge opens to Lang Co Bay far below; the forest exhales and the trail asks the hiker to keep moving. This full-day trek through Bạch Mã National Park threads secondary rainforest, granite outcrops and cold, clear streams — a place where the canopy shelters mountain lakes and waterfalls that still feel little changed since colonial maps were drawn.
