Spanning 13.90 hectares, Bangan Hill National Park is a significant protected area in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. Established in 1995, the park holds deep historical value as the site where the province's first mass was celebrated in 1739, marking the founding of the municipality. Beyond its history, the park is a popular destination for hiking enthusiasts who visit to reach the observation deck, which offers sweeping views of the valley nestled between the Caraballo and Cordillera Central mountains. During the Lenten season, the park transforms into a spiritual site for the annual 'Stations of the Cross,' featuring live actors in a poignant depiction of the crucifixion. It remains an ideal year-round destination for those looking to combine outdoor activity with cultural exploration.
