Pinoy Joyride - Kennon Road Joyride (Baguio Bound)

Published 2014-11-14
Documented my Kennon Road trip to Baguio. It was a nice sunny morning and the sights of the mountain ranges are beautiful! One of the famous zig zag roads in the Philippines, Kennon Road. Used one my favorite video games music, Outrun.
This time have to be behave since we got some senior citizen passengers with me hehehehe.

Road Condition - paved roads
Drive thrill - Average Fun, there are many cars along the road. Narrow curves.
Security - there are many houses and small towns along the road, caution on falling small debris
Rating: 4/5 :-)

27:16 Camp John Hay



From Wikipedia:
Kennon Road (formerly, the Benguet Road[1]) is a roadway in Benguet province in the Philippines connecting the mountain city of Baguio to the lowland town of Rosario in La Union province. The project was begun in 1903 and opened for travel on January 29, 1905. It was originally called the Benguet Road and later renamed in honor of its builder, Col. Lyman Walter Vere Kennon of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. For travelers coming from Manila or the provinces in the central plains of Luzon, it is the shortest route to Baguio.

    @dmitrivalencia thank you for this. I've let my parents watch this before our trip on Baguio last December. We always take Marcos Highway since they are afraid of Kennon Road but when they saw your video they saw that it was not a rough road anymore unlike before. So, last December upon our trip to Baguio we took Kennon road for the first time and it was very comfortable that we avoided that traffic of Marcos Highway and the large trucks that makes it longer to get to Baguio City town proper. From Manaoag, Pangasinan (we attended a mass) it took only like an hour from the Kennon road toll gate to Baguio City town proper. (I really like to take Kennon road so I can take a pic with the Lion's head statue which I did ) THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS! if we haven't watched your video we could have taken marcos highway again and never had the chance to experience Kennon road and took a pic with the Lion's head. THANK YOU AGAIN! I subscribed in your channel last November 2017. More power!
