It has been more than 2 and a half years since I last drove to Tambunan over the Crocker Range "highway". It was almost mid-day when we dropped in at the Rafflesia Information Centre.
There was no Rafflesia but we found a rare and beautiful wild Ginger flower just before entering the Botanical Garden.

A sealed trail into the Garden.
From the Rafflesia Information Centre, we moved on to Tambunan.

The golden padi fields were ready for harvesting.
From the Tambunan junction, we headed for Mahua Waterfall. Part of the road was under repair because of a previous landslide.
The new sign board welcomed us to the Crocker Range National Park.
The reception building was also new.
The trails leading to the waterfall area has been upgraded with brick paved walkways.

It was a great feeling listening to the sound of the water flowing down the stream.
The waterfall was in sight after a 15-20 minutes easy walk.
The park now boasts a new shower and toilet facilities near the waterfall.The revisit was worthwhile with the improvement done on the trails and the facilities provided.
It was raining heavily on our way back to the main road. This portion of road was muddy but we managed to go through with our 4WD.
Our last stopped was in Tambunan township. The open market was deserted as it was raining heavily. We stayed for coffee and left for home.
