I have a funny moment here with my family during the 90's my little brother imitates Jolina Magdangal's "Payong Kaibigan" in ANG TV, he talks and say "andito po tayo sa Baguio City!", I have a video of it and he can't deny that ahhaah. Mines View Park is our most favorite spot for sight seeing, I don't know, because back then it was popular and I remember that there are native kids and teens roaming in the rocky ravine and begs from us to throw money or coins to them, it was an attraction, because they are having a contest and will catch the coin using that basket on a stick. Today 2010, it was a big chance for Mines View Park, no more beggars roaming inside and in the ravine, but they posted lots of stores and photo booths for visitors.

Upon entering, you'll spot this big St. Bernard dog, you can have a photo with it for only P25.
D' Orci, the dog, is an instant star, and have its own Facebook fan page.
Here's the rocky pavement and stairs going to the view deck, it was slippery and muddy due to rains and cold mists. You need to be very careful in going down.
the popular pink horse of Baguio is located only here at the Mines View Park, you can ride and have a photo op with it.
another view of the rocky and slipper stairs.
the viewing deck, you'll see the mountains and the rocky mines are no longer visible, I remember during the 90's I can still see the mining and trucks were everywhere, busy in digging and quarrying.
