The trail is partly evident until now; most of the Spanish trails within the vicinity vanished already due to erosion and natural calamities.

The Spaniards built a cross at one of the peaks of the mountains as a symbol of their conquest. However the peak where the historical cross is located is not the summit itself. Kudoh is believed to be the first mountain reached by Spanish priests in spreading Catholicism.
