Situated beside the much bigger Mt. Cristobal which is located in the town of Rizal in Laguna, Tayak Hill stands at 1960 feet above sea level. It is believed to be the gateway of Mt. Cristobal which is known among the urban legends as the devil's mountain.
Due to it's steep terrain and scenic views, it has became a haven for bikers which has a total stretch of 6.5 km. from the jump off point to the summit. It played a crucial role during WW2 because it served as a command post for American and Filipino troops during the war where ammunitions, arms and provisions were dropped off.
