Easiest way to go to baguio from manila

[venom]

Was in La Union over the weekend. Suggest you guys use the Magilas Trail or the Urdaneta-Manaog-San Jacinto-San Fabian route. My simple mind tells me that those ongoing repair works (widening and/or reblocking) wont be done by Holy Week. Going there we used the TPLEX. As soon as hit Villasis the the traffic hit us...and it went all the way up to the southern La Union towns.

Coming to Manila we opted for the Magilas Trail. The time difference between coming and going was 2-3 hours.

dadaan ka pa rin sa roadworks upon exit mo ng binalonan if via magilas trail (correct me if im wrong) dahil sa sison ay di pa rin tapos ang roadworks. dun (sison0 din ako natrapik last march dahil sa buses at trucks na ayaw magbigayan.

mayron din alternative route to magilas trail. that is a concrete road traversing through rice fields before rosales. hindi dun sa may crossing sa carmen bago yung bridge. wala nga lang kasing nakalagay na road sign. pero dun ako dumadaan nun.

better use damortis road going up via manaoag - san fabian - damortis - rosario (la union) and vice versa

Yes nadaanan kona rin yan. May kabataan nga na humihingi ng donasyon para sa Fiesta nila.

True, dadaanan mo pa rin yung ginagawa sa Sison if you use the Magilas trail but then again the road between Villasis and Urdaneta is also a killer if and when you decide to use the Urdaneta-Manaoag-San Jacinto-San Fabian route

I guess at this point its choose your poison. harhar

Try Camiling to San Fabian. Road is as good as it can be.

onga pala hindi ko naisip ito. but if ever someone decides this route, SCTEX tarlac city or luisita ang exit. then some patintero sa mga trikes ng tarlac city.

and yes its true, the choice of route is still up to the driver. if in doubt, take your usual route esp. kung gabi. kung daytime and have some time to spare para sa mga "lost" situation, you may want to try these alternatives.

^I've used that road before. Yung dadaan ng Bayambang, kala ko di na kami makakalabas sa taniman ng mga mais. Kung Baguio papunta, napakalayong ikot. Siguro best pa rin mag MacArthur pero midnight dumaan para kaunting traffic na lang.

just make sure maganda A/C ng car kundi may palitada na mukha mo pagdating sa destinasyon...hehehe

Kung lalabas ka ng Damortis, the better route should be Damortis > Agoo > Baguio. Marcos Hi-way will start in Agoo.

The Rosales exit of TPLEx was already open last Easter Sunday. Toll free sya sa ngayon. Don't know when they will start charging toll

kung via rosales/sta. maria (magilas trail);
manila > nlex > sctex > tplex > carmen exit > turn right to rosales > sta maria (magilas trail) > asingan > binalonan > pozzurubio > sison > rosario la union then up to baguio via kennon or via marcos hi-way

kung via villasis/urdaneta;
manila > nlex > sctex > tplex > carmen exit > turn left > turn right sa mcdo approaching bridge to villasis > urdaneta > binalonan > pozzurubio > sison > rosario la union then up to baguio via kennon or via marcos hi-way

^ The Magilas Trail route is longer, but it bypasses the centers of Villasis and Urdaneta.

It depends... if you're traveling by day, then you might make better time using Magilas Trail, but if you're driving at night (after 7pm) or in the early morning (before 7am), then traffic in Villasis and Urdaneta are not that heavy, except during peak tourist seasons

Nice to hear from you again, bro., after a long while....

I hope that life is treating you and your loved ones, well.

At least 2x a year(2 biyahe) pa rin kaming dumaraan sa area ninyo..... Kumakaway na lang ako pag daan ko sa kanto ninyo....

Avoid Kennon Road when traveling to Baguio this time. There is a road work at one portion and stop and go traffic is very bad. It took me 2 hours going down from CJH to Caltex Rosario last Sunday from the usual 40 to 45 minutes.

Maybe okay when you travel late at night but not during daytime.

Been using this route ever since the road works started in binalonan/sison. As a reminder, the bridge in San Fabian near the gas station junction is closed so better head straight to mangaldan after San jacinto. Laking ginhawa yung TPLEX kasi travel time is lesser now by almost 2 hours. My travel back to Clark last week from Bauang La Union took me only under 2hours using this route.

How is road works from Binalonan to La Union as of now, are they still on going or better of?

[anomaly]

Will be going up to Baguio next week. Anyone been there recently? How is the road condition in Pangasinan? Is it ok to pass Kennon at this time?

[luis_]

Tolerable naman mga road works parang tatlo lang ata sa pangasinan at meron isa sa kennon. Pero malamang tapos na yun ngayon dahil nagpunta kami days after typhoon mario and luis. 5am kami umalis ng fairview 10am nakarating ng baguio. Yung 5am to 6am fairview to nlex lang yun hehehe
