History documented that the popular Olumo Rock was the hiding place where ancient men of war found refuge for themselves. The rocks which come in various forms and sizes also served as a house and armoury for ancient warriors who didn’t want to disclose their whereabouts so soon.
Abeokuta came about its name due to the great mass of rocks found on this mountain in the city. Hiking Olumo may have your blood pumping in fear but you’d be amazed by the aerial view which will compensate you for the tireless effort expended while hiking.
