Driving to Baguio at Midnight

[Lew_Alcindor]

I'll answer for Benz.

Marcos Highway is wider vs Kennon road. And more stable too during rains. Mas mabilis nga lang sa kennon road. No problem naman going up to Kennon if you are already an experienced driver. There is always a first time sabi nga.

Yes I agree kaya kahit first time ko drive to Baguio, I am still willing to try Kennon road kasi there is always the first time.

Ika nga, kung hindi ngayon, kelan? hehehe

Sorry if you took it the other way. I should've corrected what I said. Anyway yes, Kennon is narrower in some areas than Marcos, though there are parts of road that are being widened. There are sharp turns going up or down (depending on which way you're going). As of last time I was up there, there's construction work between camp 2 and 3, they're fixing a part of the road that collapsed into the ravine below (one way traffic only).

Which ever route you wanna take, before you climb up Baguio, refuel at Rosario (2-3+ Php more expensive ang fuel per litre in Baguio itself). And if you can get a snack, please do. You need to be mentally alert for the road ahead going up.

Happy trip.

I'm not offended in any way by you post. I am just gauging how safe it is for me to try Kennon considering it is my first time to drive to Baguio.

Thanks for the refueling tip.

When I went up Baguio last week via Kennon there were no one way roads due to construction FYI. Meron roadside maintenance pero it doesnt hamper the two way traffic going up or going down. Dapat lang marunong ka sa timing ng pag overtake kasi marami sobrang mabagal like trucks especially on the way up and minsan mahirap mag overtake pag blind curve.

Yes a stop over is better so you can rest before another long drive.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the update.
