On a clear day, you can even see Doi Mae Tho in the distance. If you are not in a hurry, turn around and look back for a moment while you are climbing Doi Mon Mak. You will see the simple beauty of the morning view of Mae Chaem District that you just ran through. But don't get too carried away with the view, because the downhill section of Doi Mon Mak is quite challenging. After passing the "Tong Teng" suspension bridge, the Skyline 30km trail diverges from The Backyard 15km trail.

The trail then becomes a single-track trail that winds along the ridge, covered in loose rocks. The final section of the trail is a fun downhill on a dirt road,with a few gentle climbs to keep things interesting. The trail winds through agricultural areas before entering the town of Mae Chaem and finishing at the Chumchontambonthapha School.
